How to I get my rear wheel (break) to unlock after the car has been sitting for a year? The rear tire move. Suggestions???

Asked by Michelle Nov 01, 2015 at 10:37 AM about the 2005 Acura TL FWD with Performance Tires and Navigation

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The car has been in storage for about a year and half . I went to try to move it
but one of the rear wheels is locked and won't turn. Is there a way that I can
unlock the wheel without damaging my car?

It sounds like the brakes are rusty. Rocking it back and forth might do it or you may need to disassemble the brakes.
