need some help, ebrake seized?

Nothing should just "rust up" in the time it took you to work in your garage in one day. Something else is seriously wrong there. Before you even take wheels

Nothing should just "rust up" in the time it took you to work in your garage in one day. Something else is seriously wrong there. Before you even take wheels off, just lift the car and spin them all and find out for sure which one(s) are dragging.

Do this. Not worth assuming anything until you have an idea of what is causing it. A (possibly) single seized caliper is one thing, but all four wheels locked up because of some massive vacuum issue is quite another.
