92' Celica GT Brake Problem
I recently bought a 92' Celica GT off a friend of mine who has let it sit on his farm for the past 3 months or so. When I went to pick up the vehicle, after a successful boost I went to drive it away and the car would not budge. It has been a very wet last couple of months.
After a google search, I guessed that due to the wet weather and the car sitting out in the elements for a long period of time, that this was related to mild corosion causing things to stick and it was nothing some hammering and penatrating fuild couldn't fix. After doing the above, I was able to get the rear passenger wheel spinning backward and forward freely, however the rear driver's side wheel will only spin backwards, and only with considerable effort. When I try to spin the wheel forward, it doesn't budge.
I should also mention that all 4 wheels have disc breaks and that the hand brake was set for the duration of its time outdoors. I thus suspect this is some how parking break related. However, I am unfamiliar with the operation of this type of brake and have no idea how to fix my problem and get the car moving again.
Can anyone offer any advice??
