Just took the Gt-Four out for the first time yesterday... Well, that's what I planned to do.
Everything went well until I first clutched.. The rear left wheel is jammed and won't turn. It was fine when I stored it a while back. I can only see 2 options, either a jammed caliper or parking brake cable. I'm not an expert but I can do things by myself. Could anybody help me with troubleshooting my problem? How can I find what's the problem and what do I need to do to fix it? Thanks. |

Remove the wheel, caliper and rotor from the car. If you are still unable to turn the axle I would remove the halfshaft from the hub. With the halfshaft only connected to the differential you can check both the differential and hub for rotation seperately. I would actually least suspect the differential. Just from my general knowledge the spider gear(even lsd) in the center means that neither axle could actually lock up, especially if the other axle is fine. I suspect the brake but it could somehow be the hub. |
