Releasing parking brake

WE have a tfg430s with a bad flywheel. How do you release the electric parking brake so we can tow it in the shop? I tried turning on the igniton and pushing the p brake switch, but it did not release.

There is a brake release on the valve block, when that is released you turn the steering and it releases the brakes.
What year is the truck? Serial number?
