E brake seized

[HACKRCHILD]

Hi everyone,

had my rear wheels off for a couple of weeks whilst having a refurb. Just went to chuck them back on and it seems my rear brake has seized……

any tips to get it to release? I’ve tried putting it on and off a bunch, tapping each caliper with a bit of wood with no luck. Tried going back and fourth a bit but it’s making awful sounds as it drags one the wheels every so often.
Thanks in advance

Also does anyone know if the a90 has handbrake shoes or if it just engages the rear calliper?

That happened to me once and I had to get on the gas quite a bit and it was pretty sketchy in the garage. Probably not the best way but you might wanna get on it a bit before actually opening the toolbox.

Hi all, solved. Poured some hot water on the brake calliper and it freed it up
