mikie Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hello to all, I've been away for 3 months just got back today and of course need your help. The car started fine, but my rear brakes seem to be clamped up big time. The front wheels are spining and the rears don't move an inch. Now my car is half out the garage and half in.... I guessing I should take off the wheels (rear) and try to un clamp the calipers, any advice on how to do this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikie Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 okay well I finally got in out of my garage, the rear wheels just slide all the way out. My drive way has a little bit of a slant but I will go ahead and lift the car and hit the hub. Thanks guys for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
