Hey all,
Yesterday I went to move my car, only to find about 4 inches of play in the hand brake. That said, I tried to move regardless, and the driver-side rear wheel seized. I guess the handbrake had become stuck. I was able to loosen it by gently rocking the car back and forth, and eventually the play in the hand brake was gone - it was tight again.
Has anyone encountered this? It seems to work fine, except for when my car sits over night at which point it seizes that wheel. Only thing I could think that would cause it would be the cold (it's around 0 degrees C / 35 F).
Thanks,
