The rear passenger brake on my 95 neon is stuck on and I can smell the shoes burning up if I try to drive it. I have disconnected the parking brake, replaced the wheel cylinder, and bleed the brake a couple of times but cannot get the brake to relieve pressure on its own. I can relieve the pressure by using a c-clamp on the wheel cylinder, so it can go back it just won't. I am getting a little annoyed and wonder if adjusting these brakes would help or if there is a way to disconnect the brake temporaily so I can at least drive the car. Thanks for any suggestions?

 

It sounds like the auto adjuster has over adjusted the brakes. Try backing off the adjuster screw assembly a few turns. Make sure the adjuster is clean and properly lubricated.

 

Either a frozen wheel cylinder (not expensive) or over adjusted brake.

 

Thanks for the help guys, it turned out to be a faulty brake hose.
