soo my rear brakes seem to be sticking in my sedan , my coupe does it too but my sedan gets really bad to the point that when I go to back up the only way to break it is by spinning the crap out of my tires which is burning my clutch... it's quite annoying and I don't feel like replacing a clutch anytime soon, anyone else have this issue? FYI it only happens in the winter on cold days, assuming they're freezing ... should I not use my ebrake ? I neeeeed some advice 😭

 

I would take them apart and regrease everything. If your brake fluid is really old it could have too much water and be freezing as well. Not likely but possible.

 

Park with it in gear instead

 

Grease the slides.. They may still stick a little in the cold while in reverse but it shouldn't be too bad.

 

Mine always freeze up in winter too.

 

I had this problem just over a week ago in my coupe. I couldn't get the rear tire to budge so I ended up taking the wheel off, and manually adjusting the brakes off using the manual adjuster on the brake drum. Took about an hour, and I haven't been using the parking brake since lol

 

Is it when you leave it parked and the ebrake is up? Ive had my rear pads stick before.

 

I don't use my ebrake lol

 

I've found that adjusting the ebrake helps. Get it within the first 3-4 clicks. If this doesn't help, grease slides as stated. I'm fairly certain mine were greased but they stick. Only way I've found to get them unstuck is trigger ABS. Hasn't failed me lol.

 

It's a TC so the e brake mechanism in the caliper could be shot.

Only fix is new calipers.

 

I always assumed the sticking was actually ice or oxidation on the rotors.

 

I just put some vice grips on my rear brake lines and took my calipers off, then ziptied the vice grips to one of the holes on the torsion beam to keep them out of the way. I did the same for the e-brake cables.
