Most often, I commute on my motorcycle: faster, easier, cheaper... :) So, since last friday night above mentioned Corolla was parked in sheltered garage. This morning I decided that I deserve A/C, power steering and comfy seats and tried to go to work with it. To my surprise, both rear wheels are locked, just like I had firmly applied hand brake... Wife confirmed that both rear wheels are locked. Front wheels are not. I tried to rock car front and back, either by pushing and by shifting from first gear to reverse, like one do when stuck on mud, but I had no luck.
I do most of my maintenance. I changed the rear drum shoes myself 6 months ago and everything inside the drum was shiny and clean (really it doesn't looked like a 8 year car). I rode over 10k miles during this period, with no problems, with no issues on the handbrake or the pedal brake. I'm really puzzled, because car was working perfectly before I parked it friday night and it broke without anyone driving it, nobody didn't ever opened the doors since friday! I wish it would fix itself the same way... :)
so, could anyone please give me any insight on how I start troubleshooting? I plan on removing the drums and seeing what's in there, but to me, it's pretty weird both wheel are locked... I peered under the car and there are no sticks, dead dogs or anything else stuck anywhere.
thanks!
