A few weeks ago i pulled my Emergency Brake.. Well I was trying to check the reverse lights to see if any were out. i forgot it was in reverse while my Emergency Brake was pulled. I stepped on the gas and of course it didn't go anywheres. well i took the Emergency Brake off and tried backing up and only the rear passenger wheel would not go in reverse only forward. The Emergency handle wiggles up and down about an inch to an inch and a half. well now ive tried and i pulled the Emergency Brake again to see if i could loosen it up. Well now it will not go forward nor reverse. Can somebody please help me out? :/ This is my first car and am terrified it will cost a lot of money to fix.. It could be that it was sitting in the winter. prior to me getting it it was sitting for 3 to 4 months. i drove it home and it was fine now that i did all of that its messed up.
Any Vehicle you buy that age or one that has been sitting outside in the weather can't be used until you work on it for a couple weeks & go completely thru it
All four brake will have to come apart & all rust removed
& whatever else needs to be done
That is a car for someone who does all their own work
Sort of a hobby & restoration project
Yes but I still need to know but I still need to know what may be the problem.
Your not thinking clearly I explained to you given the age of the vehicle,sitting not used for some time & normal rust etc you have a lot of disassembly & work to do No one can give you an anser to any car problem over the phone or internet You need the car to diagnose or work on Common Sense You obviously can't do your own work so you will have to pay a repair shop The car is too old in my opinion to even keep given what your saying

Bad Differential or LR- brake caliper is locking up very bad. I am leaning more towards bad differential-(rear end) Take off differential cover and look inside gear may be broken. Contact if you need more help. thanks for using FIX YA

The right emergency brake cable is probaly chafed through somewhere.Try wiggling the cable around and see if it backs off.More than likely you need to get the cable replaced.

thats the fuel filter need to replace or check the lines
SOURCE: emergency brake locked after pull release handle
handbrake jammed on somewhere ,could be front cable ,because the rear cable is pulled by the compensator so if it was the rear one then i would expect only one cable siezed and that is normally the kerbside one.

I hate to say it but it sounds like you have a severe problem in the rear end. Here are a couple of things i would do. First pull off your tires and wheels. Of course you need to put the truck on jack stands and block the wheels for safety! Disconnect your rear drive line so you know nothing from front diff or trans could be affecting it. Next spin the brake rotors by hand and inspect them for severe damage. Go forwards and backwards. Also listen in your rear end for grinding or clunking noises and also excessive play front foward to reverse. And last drain your oil and put your finger up inside the housing as far as you can and feel for large pieces that should not be there. This should give you a good idea if it is in your braking sytem your rear end or wether you need to start looking at front diff. or the trans. If all is good on rear end do the same thing for front diff and inspect it as well. Make sure you pull front driveline off!
Testimonial: "my problem appears to be the inner brake pad which was used up and slipped out of place and would wedge itself between the housing and the hub. Thanks"
