    Brake locked up.

    Alright, so this morning I get in my car, undo the e-brake and turn the car on. I put my baby in reverse (manual) and didn't move because the back right wheel's brake didn't disengage.

    I tried tampering pulling the e-brake and it won't go all the way up.

    I have no idea wtf I should do to fix it. Can Cb7tuner save the day..again!?


    thanks!

        possible frozen cable (not cold)

        had that problem with my old 77 Civic ( yes 1977), took a hammer and tapped on the cable at the drum and heard it release. i then replaced the cable ASAP

        wish i had a pic of my 77

          Try this.Jack the rear end up. check that cable from the console back.I've had mine freeze on me once. If you have drums in the back pull the wheel off and knock/whack that drum with a 2lb hammer or so and see if it frees itself. If its disc brake the caliper might seized, in that case you'll have to remove and rebuild it or replace it.

            sounds hella good! I'll give it a try!

            Should I replace all of my brake lines or just that one? I wouldn't want this happening while driving if you know what I mean...haha

            Dammmmmnn! a 77! Thats so killer bro!

              Hell yeah! I hit that shit with a hammer and it released!

              I can spin it but it still has a very small light grinding noise.

              How do I check my brake lines and be sure that they aren't bad?

                take off the drum and check your brake shoes

                also lube up the cable with some PB B'Laster or just get new ebrake cables ,install them and be done with it

                might be a good time to just do your rear brakes altogether, safety first !

                  If you have steel wheels just smack the wheel with a sledge. Right in the center.

                  The thing is, If the liners are frozen in the up position you wont be able to get the drum off. So the shock will help release them. Then just clean the insides out with brake cleaner, Lube up the springs and the parking brake lever inside there.

                      Center meaning around the lugs, Not where the gold cap is.

                          doesn't really matter fellaz cause he got em to release..

                          Op pull the drums off and chek your linings/drums. They might also need replaced.
