Rear Brake Caliper Problems
Ok I left my E brake on over night and this morning it was hung up. I would start to drive and it was all sluggish. I got out of the car and the rear right caliper was a smoking fury. I played with teh E brake and would yank on it real hard to see if it would release and it wouldn't. After I let the car sit a few minutes it drove fine and now it seems to be ok. What do you guys think could be the problem? I don't think its the Ebrake itself because the other side released.

give the Ebrake a few pulls (i.e. around 5 -> 9 clicks) up clicky release up clicky again...
this will "reset" your ebrake and the lever so that both sides are even....

Check the boot at the end of your e-brake cable. You'll want to remove your rear wheel first to see it clearly. If it's ripped, you got crap inside which is seizing up your cable. It happened to me once. My wallet got much lighter after I replaced the cable.

I didn't think it was the cable since the other side would release. But after this freezing rain thing stops I'll take my wheel off and look it over more closely.
