Right rear brake looks to have locked up after a recent caliper rebuild (less than 50 miles). I followed a pelican article and loosened the hex by going clockwise...wouldn’t twist counter. Brake pads look like they are glued to the rotor though...if anyone is in Phoenix area, there’s a six pack for anyone wanting to come to the garage and help me get the car on the road.

Simply pull the little pin out at the connection from the cable to the caliper.
If the cable is stuck the caliper will release when the pin is pulled |

This sounds incredibly simple, but any pictures or diagrams of what pin I’m supposed to pull?

This sounds incredibly simple, but any pictures or diagrams of what pin I’m supposed to pull? The pin that connects the end of the ebrale cable to the ebrake lever arm on the caliper. It has a tiny c-clip on the end. On the east coast they are always corroded over so I get them cherry red with map gas and then work it loose. |
