Anyone services these yet or have any issues? Mine is an 03 and my mileage has dropped about 2 mpg. Anyway jacked it up last night and noticed in neutral rear tires are barely move.. Just wondering if anyone has had there rear brakes lock up..
 
I'm at 200k haven't touched them yet but will have to change since the oil seal is leaking! To rule out your calipers sticking pry the caliper open so the pads don't touch then try it. I got two dollars on the calipers! 2mpg isn't really much just a small variable like tire pressure or outside temp can change it.
 
It could be the calipers seizing up. But if you have ever drove with it on a time or two. You may have turned the ebrake shoes into a melted mess been there.
