I just picked up a 95 Talon ESI, and to my surprise it has rear disc brakes. I really didn't know that this model came with disc brakes in the rear. Anyways, i have a problem, the rear wheels are stuck. I took the wheel off on one side and took a sledge hammer to the brakes in hope of freeing it up. Don't worry, i know where to hit but no amount of tapping would free it up. I took the caliper off verifying that the pads weren't rusted to the rotor and the caliper was not seized. I had enough of working in the 100 degree heat so i quit before pulling the rotor off. Is it safe to assume that the e-brake pads are seized or something? When i pulled the e-brake handle up it felt like nothing was there. Could it be something more serious? Thanks.

cable is probsbly frozen which is normal when a car sits. Unbolt the cable and start flexing it to try and free it up. If your able to get it to free up then remove it completely and stand it up on end by tiing it to the ceiling of the garage and spray penetrating oil in the one end and let it soak all the way through.

Another method is to cut a tiny hole in a plastic bag and insert the end of the cable into the hole. Now wrap the bag tightly with tape to the cable so the bag acts as a funnel. Now pour a small amount of light oil into the bag and let it seep throught the cable overnight. Make sure you place a bucket underneitht the opposite cable end.
