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.

Just set it free! It actually was the parking brake cable... Been sitting in the rain for 2 hours smashing a hammer at my hub hoping it'd release the pads inside... Seems like it worked! Still thanks to those who have replied smile.gif
I feel soooo damn stupid though. I almost forgot to put the wheel back on when I gave it some gas while on the jack.. I would've killed me if something happened. I'm never working on any car in the dark... Ever.
