Calipers are likely siezed. The handbrake is also known
for siezing. It could also be corroded handbrake cables. I'm going through the
same mess right now for the third time...seems to be a common
thing!
Make
sure it isn't the cables, but you probably need new calipers. If you go with
remanufactured calipers, make sure that you get a lifetime warranty! I've gotten
reman ones that didn't even work out of the box, and the ones I'm using right
now are less than a year old. Some people say that new calipers are the only way
to go, but Potterman has them at a good price for $175 EACH, where my
remanufactured ones are about $60 each. You have to decide if it is worth the
potential hassle of replacing them often to save a buck and not have to pay
again ever...
