How to Solve Rear Wheel Locking After Releasing the Handbrake?
1 Answers
The solutions for rear wheel locking after releasing the handbrake are: 1. Force start by stepping hard on the accelerator; once the rear wheels move, the locking can be released. 2. Remove the tire and tap the brake drum with a hammer or similar tool to loosen the contact surface between the brake drum and the brake pads. The reasons for rear wheel locking after releasing the handbrake include: 1. The car's handbrake cable not retracting; 2. The car's brake caliper not retracting; 3. The brake friction pads being frozen. Other situations of car wheel locking include: In cars without ABS, if the brake pedal is pressed hard while driving, the wheel speed will rapidly decrease. When the braking force exceeds the friction between the wheel and the ground, the wheel will lock. A completely locked wheel reduces the friction between the tire and the ground, and in severe cases, dangerous phenomena such as skidding, fishtailing, and sudden spinning may occur.
