    Emergency brake is stuck!!!?

    Hey R3v!
    I need your help to diagnose a problem I have with my car.

    So today I decided to put the basketweaves I recently bought on my car. I loosened the bolts on the drivers side tires and then jacked up that side and put the basketweaves on and then tightened the bolts and the put that side down and then I torqued the bolts.

    Since my car was so close to the curb I wanted to move it to have more space to put the wheels on the passenger side of the car. I turned on the car and tried to move it but it wouldn't budge. The rear of the car would just sit down as if the parking brake was on (If you've ever accidentally left the parking brake you should know what this feels like).

    After feeling this I was like "WTF?!" and then I thought that it could've been that the two wheel sizes were different so it was fucking something up.

    So then I did the same thing on the other side and tried to move it again, this time with all the wheels being the same. Still no luck. But there was a crunch noise that made me cringe.

    I then Jacked up the rear of my car and put the car in gear and tried to move the wheels, and this tim there was a popping noise. It was close to a BOV sound but more metallic if that makes any sense.

    I was thinking that the bolts might be too long because my previous wheels had 1 inch spacers, but the front tires move freely and I'm pretty sure that the bolts are all the same length around.

    Please help!

    So you used the bolts that were 1" longer than normal, and you used them with no spacers?

      Do you think that is the problem? I feel like it is, but then again I don't because all the bolts seemed to be the same length all the way around

        That's definitely the problem. And to be honest you probably fucked up something by forcing those bolts onto what they're pushing against (I believe the rear hub, but I'm not sure).

            I don't have anything, sorry man. Take it all apart and see what you're up against. Or actually, just get some stock length bolts (pnp+baggy pants...), put those on, and see what appears to be wrong (sounds, vibration, etc).

              If your bolts are too long they'll touch all that good stuff inside there. Use standard sized lugs and fix your ebrake assembly. Not that hard.

                Also theres not usually that much room, this is during what appears to be a bearing replacement. Buy fresh parts from Blunttech or go to pnp & find some.
