any listers near or around Rock Springs Wyoming or
know of a good
mechanic willing to work sundays?

Car is a 91 200q20v with apparent brake issues.

rear calipers would not release (ebrake cable OK) I
was able to
release pads by manually pushing out pads. At same
time there was a
speed related rubbing noise coming from the front,
while pulling into
the breakdown lane the car was abrubtly halted by
locked breaks.

Car cannot be moved eitehr forward or reverse nor
could it be pushed
off the highway by hwy patrol.

Could this be an abs computer malfunction? new ufo
rotors and pads
were just installed and the system was bled on
tuesday.

any help would be appreciated, I can be reached on my
cell at 408 813
8839. Please excuse any typos as this is being typed
on my mobile
phone.

thanks in advance for any and all help.

 Check the caliper bracket slid pins...they maybe
sticking. All so I see you mention that the E-brake
cable was pulled & driven while it was still
engaged...could be the internal mechanism for the
e-brake stuck.
 All so as Brett mentioned it could be the MC..but not
likely cause of the circumstances you described. But
an easy test is to put a cold rag/washcloth/ect on the
MC & see if the rear brakes release.
