Hey Guys,
My rear dust shields (backing plates) are rusted away. The drivers side is scraping on the rotor. I am about to break off the pieces that are rubbing the rotor, but I noticed the rear wheel, rotor etc are very hot. I just came back from a 5 minute drive to the parts store. It should not be that hot.
So many months ago I had pulled up on the handbrake lever and the cable just before it splits into two under the car. (I realize its not two cables, I'm just trying to keep this short)
My question is, is it possible the e-brake is engaged and is there a way to release it without the use of the lever/button?
This might explain why I feel like the vehicle is down on power. And yes, I feel like a total IDIOT so please, there's no need to point that out because it's a fact. I'm embarrassed just posting this question.
Thank You in advance!
