+1 on the corroded parking cables , its about that time of the year when salt and road brine get into the cable behind the little boot or works its way in. One cable will stick , then its the other side down the road.
The old ones can come out but sometimes take a little effort. There is a factory tool ( 83300494835 below ) that makes the front section easy to take out by pushing in the flange clips on the front section.

Here is the set we carry. Soak the old ones with PB blaster or similar near the connection to the caliper mount the night before, it will make them easier to pop out.
#8 and #9 in the diagram above.
