Suspected Stuck Rear Brakes
Posted: Sat May 14, 2016 2:13 pm
My 1977 Westy is in an underground parking garage and I can't get it to move. I parked it there 2 weeks ago. It had been stored all winter in another city and I drive it 60 miles home and then to the garage the next day.
Today it won't budge when I try to back out. I don't have much room in front of me to try to break them free going forward.
I suspect the rear/parking brakes are stuck.
Could it be something else?
It was pouring rain the 2 days leading up to going into the warm/dry garage.
Easiest way to get them free?
I'll probably bring a jack there to confirm.
I just had surgery and am supposed to keep my foot elevated, I guess I'm good to do work under the bus with my foot up on a toolbox
