Hi all, recently inhertied a Saab 9-7X im in the process of trying to make road worthy. It had been sitting 6 months or so but was working fine when parked. The ebrakes are completely frozen. It will barely move and had to have it trailered home. When you try to lift the ebrake handle there is a ton of tension like its already on and can barely lift it. I tried just about everything to the point of actually cutting the ebrake line and removing it since they are cheap to replace, and nothing. The little metal piece behind the rotor that is supposed to pivot is completely frozen. The rotors wont come off at all, I even tried the bolts that are supposed to force the rotors off and they are so bound up that the threads on the rotors started to strip before they would come all the way off. The previous owner used to use this to put a jet ski in the water so I have a strong suspicion rust is at play here somewhere.
I don't really know what to do next at this point, any ideas? Thanks!
