I didn't drive the car for 2 days since I did the Meguiers 3 step and cleaned out the throttle body and intake plenum (intakesnake tool is AMAZING) What the F_U_C_K should I do??? Please help I've got plans for a cruise this weekend!!!! Help me out please guys!!! Thank you Mike McKinney

Mike, you may be stuck with this one. It sounds like one of the the parking brake shoes has come loose and is binding the rotor, or a cable has broken. You could try backing up a short distance, but I don't think it will free things up. Get under the car and check the cables, (doubt it's a cable. When they break, you can't apply the brake. If you can get the wheel off, remove the rotor retainer screw, and try and remove the rotor. You may have to resort to a hammer to get it off.

Your language is a little demonstrative and too strong for my tastes but I'll have a go at trying to help you here anyway.
Your cable may be binding from lack of lubrication. Get a stick or broken axe handle and slap the cable a few times to break it free. This works in a few instances. |

Soap and Water
To the bathroom with you.
Your choice of words is a first if not very few used on this forum. It is quite offensive. The replies as to your problem are not deserving but it shows the character of the membership. Try to do better next time. |

I thinks Shyne should utilize the edit button. Alot of times while I am on here I have an 8 yr old boy peering over my shoulder and I do not appreciate this type of stuff - especially in the written form.

Mike McKinney, as you can see, there is a time and place for everything.
As for me, there is NO time or place for language like this. Let's put this behind us and go on with an at times family oriented forum. |

jeffsr:
I believe you've described exactly my situation. I had a look under the car and found the following:
Shocks: clean and look new Coil springs: a little dirty small portions of oxidation Lower A arms?: clean and rust free Differential: small portions of surface rust, small portion of grease/gear lube stain Axle shafts and dust boots: clean and the rubber is fresh. Heavy corrosion on brake dust shields and these donut type looking things (donuts are rubber, just look a litte dry) Brake lines look good, I've spotted no leaks, fluid looks a little dirty and will have entire break system flushed after I get the car to the dealer. If I force the car to move back, what would happen??? Should I play it safe and spend $60.00 to flatbed it to the dealer??? Please give some advice to a stressed out student who is going broke paying all these high taxes in Canada. Thanks Jeff Mike McKinney
