[QUOTE="ReggieMRegalOne05 Legaspi, post: 546975, member: 61199"] Remember, It's the pivot that's seized, meaning, it could be rusted and all it might need is a little tap and lube spray to free it. If seized in the off position, the wheel on the seized side would spin even with the e-brakes applied. Not sure if you will be able to see it with the wheel off and someone in the cab applying and releasing the e-brake, at least look at the pads on the free side for movement, the pads of the allged seized side, that is if the dealership would allow you at the service bay. Good Luck. OOOPPPS!!! :( After reading Dreman's, did not realize our e-brake system is that type of set up, with mini shoes. My reply above is based on experiences from Mazda and Honda rear disc brakes. [/QUOTE]
