Good people of Corsasport, here's my situation.
We have 1 yards t-sport.
Weeks of sub-zero temps.
1 ditz of a driver who didn't know they couldn't fuck off for a week and a half and leave the handbrake on.
Now have one seized rear wheel on passenger side and abs light.

So yeah, I didn't really think! Have tried rocking back and forth, stalling, even driving up the road...nada.

Should mention I have discs all round, no drums.

What the hell do I do?!

it could actaully be the cable thats frozen if the seals have gone on the ends the water enters flows to the lowest part of the cable and freezes and stops the cable from moving inside the outercable. Only thing to do is wait untill it defrosts.

You could just remove the wheel and unbolt the calliper, to see where it is seized? It could be salt that's just corroded it a touch, or a frozen cable as said?

Failing that, I like the hammer idea.

I'm well aware these things strapped to my chest aren't brains, but they certainly don't make me that stupid.
