How do you release the rear brakes on a dodge caravan that have seized linings to drums?
Try heating the drum and bolt flange area with oxy/ace or get a dremel tool and grind the heads off of the brake shoe hold down pins and pull the whole assembly off complete, then you should be able to dis assemble it but you will have to buy a new hold down kit along with everything else.

Can you drive your car if all 4 calipers are seized?
Very doubtful. If they're seized and won't operate, you'll have no brakes. If by some means, they seized in the operated position, the car won't move, or if it does, will be dragging the brakes. Just fix 'em. I highly recommend NOT trying to drive the car. There are serious safety issues at stake here.

What would cause rear brakes to get abnormally hot and smell like burnt rubber after a break change on a 1995 240sx?
Sounds like possibly seized caliper sliders or the piston is not retracted far enough (assuming the car has disc brakes in the rear), if the parking brake actuator is built into the caliper on that model, you may have to rotate the piston back into the bore to release the park brake, if it has a separate park brake, make sure it is adjusted properly and the cables are not seized.
Why would the front disc brakes not release completely on a 1992 Dodge Dakota?
It is normal for caliper brakes to maintain very slight contact between the pads and the rotor. If that isn't what you're referring to, about the only things that would prevent the caliper from releasing the rotor would be either a seized caliper piston or possibly a bad proportioning valve.

What can cause soft brakes ruling out master cylinder 2003 Honda odessey?
Generally speaking, soft or spongy brakes can be caused by - Wheel bearings that are out of adjustment Brake shoes that are out of adjustment Brand new brake linings that haven't 'bedded-in' yet Air in the braking system Other causes can be - Brake components not secured properly Worn or damaged self adjusting mechanisms Wrong brake components fitted Wet or damp brake linings Seized or partially seized brake components - wheel cylinders or caliper pistons Expanding brake hoses Brake system component seals leaking or not holding pressure and lastly................. Contaminated brake fluid or the wrong type of brake fluid ---------------------------------------------------------- Okay, that's quite a list, so lets get down to it........ Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. Release the parking or hand brake. Clamp off all the flexible brake hoses and test the pedal pressure. If the pedal pressure is poor the problem lies with the master cylinder. If the pressure is good then release one of the clamps you placed on the brake pipes and check the pedal pressure again. Carry on until you release a clamp and the pedal pressure becomes poor - this will indicate the area on the vehicle where the problem lies. Refer to the list above to guide you to finding the solution to your problem.
Why would the brakes not release from the rotors after changing both on a 1987 Dodge Dakota 2 wheel drive?
i have seen the flex hoses collapse if some one has pinched them off to stop fluid loss during service of calipers if you open the bleeder screws and the brakes release you will need to release the flex hosesI have an '88 Dakota that had the same problem. I changed the calipers which didn't help, so I checked the master cylinder and found out the piston had seized up. I put a new one on and it worked like a charm.
