Had a similar problem years ago and I believe it was because of some third rate mechanic decided to do the Swarzeneager yank on my hand brake during some routine maintenance. The hand brake never travelled that far before he got his hands on it and it shortly there after proceded to sieze up on me. Of course he denied that his actions precipitated the siezure. Regular MODERATE use should keep the rear calipers and cable in good working order. For some reason people think you've got to really yank on the handbrake for it to work properly - big myth.MOSES wrote:my bad guys, my rear caliper is leaking fliud, brake tamk was low.
now for a new caliper, actually i need 2, both of the calipers "slide pins" are froze, they wont move when i put the brake on, only the top pin moves.

or you could be like me and with not having the hand brake working for a long time you finaly get it working. then you give it a yank to do a 180 on a gravel road and the hand brake grips but then you feel it snap. the cable right underneather the handbrake going to the back snapped in half. so i'm without a hand brake again.
