I think we all know where to find the spec, even if we don't know what the exact spec is... but we still don't know the OP's situation. All we know is that the parking brake is "very hard to lift up", which is subjective.

The spec wasn't listed here, so I thought I'd be the 1st to let the OP know what it's supposed to be so we could cut out all the guessing going on about how many clicks is correct (1, 2, 5, 10 and 15): again, it's 6 to 9 clicks @ 200 N (20 kgf, 45 lbf)
