Seized E Brakes
 
I have a 2001 5 speed GT and parked it for the winter about a month ago. I engaged the parking brake since I had to go back in in a few weeks to jack it up and take off the wheels. I did that all today and found out the brakes have seized. I knew it could happen but in less than a month?!

If anyone's had this happen, let me know what you've done to fix it. I'm postive it's repairable, but just how long would it take to repair?...

Thanks in advance.

Was it raining and freezing when you parked it and stayed below freezing? If so, could just be frozen cables.

Crawl under the the car and yank the cables a few times, it may break them loose.

Could be other things such as a bad return spring in the brake assy, or one of the cables is bad.

Maroon, I washed her just before I putting her away. It was around freezing temps then was sunny for a bit then turned damn cold during the past month. I'll climb under there tomorrow and check if maybe the cables aren't frozen. Thanks for the help, and happy new year!
