Rear wheel / rotor won’t turn

[Slysimon]

Hi,

I was going to change my rotors but had an issue where one of the rotor wasn’t turning. Made sure the emergency brake is off.


Car is up on jacks on all four.
Put the car in drive to test and noticed the rotor still doesn’t spin, the other three spin.

I think the emergency brake for this wheel is not releasing.
Anyone run into this?

Is this with the calipers on? If you're dragging a brake pad, that could be just enough resistance to hold the wheel in place while it's in the air and let the others spin. I assume it wasn't too locked up to drive, right?

You could try putting a pry bar in between the lug nuts and seeing if it'll move with effort. Or try pulling the brake pads.

Calipers off. I was going to change rotors.
Had no issues driving home from lunch. In afternoon went to start the project, made sure e-brake was off, took wheel and caliper off, took off rotor screws. Rotor was hard to take off, even when threading a bolt and nut through back of rotor through the caliper holders. That’s when I tried to rotate rotor and thread into another spot and noticed it locked up.

Tried prying but to no avail. Decided to start car and put into neutral and couldn’t rotate the one rear wheel. All other wheels are fine. Made sure auto lock and brake were off. Put car in drive and the one rear is not rotating.
