Ok, I have searched about this and it seems quite a few people have had this issue. I bought my car with the driver rear caliper leaking and locking up if I used the ebrake. I replaced the caliper, and it worked for a little while. Then like a month later it started to do the same shit, locking up if I pull it too high.

Id love to find out wtf the issue is, and get my damn ebrake working again.

Has anyone had this problem and stopped the damn things from locking up?

 

....see if one of the cables are getting stuck or yanked by something, or replace the caliper and be done with it?

 

And I tested the cable while the brake was disconnected and it slid fine in/out.

 

out of adjustment maybe... or air in the line, does bleeding it make any difference?

 

I thought about air in line, or a bad master but usually its in entire system and all 4 would be effected?

 

It could be air just in the length of line for that caliper

and typically if the master goes bad it would effect all four, but it can be either front or both back... it wouldn't be just one back as they are fed from the same valve

 

Bleeding it doesn't help, tried to bleed it like 25 times one night to help. Ebrake is really loose, because I don't want it to lock up. If I tighten it up, even a little bit it will cause it to lock.

 

i had a similar problem with my s13

 

once for me, the mechanical part of the caliper locked up. when i released the ebrake the Ebrake cable fell off the caliper. it applied pressure to that corner untill i cleaned that mechanical portion of the rear brake and beat it gently till it unfrooze. i still use it and it works fine i dont drift though

 

^ Neither do I bob, but I can only use my ebrake to barely stop me on a flat surface. If I park on a hill, I have to leave it in gear >_>
