RE: Rear Brakes Locked

[Brian Wanamaker <bwanamaker@sofsol.com>]

Yeah. If your brakes are wet when you set your e-brake (like if you've just
washed you car or driven through some bad weather) and then the car sets for
a few hours, sometimes the pads stick to the disks. Its happened to me 2 or
3 times.
