Ok so i figured this one out on my own. Remove the rear tire that the brake is locked up on, if the hand brake is on, lower the lever in the car. locate the e-brake wire on the rear of the disk brake/caliper. This should be behind the rotor and caliber and is identifible by the fact that it is not a hydraulic line. You should see that it is held in place by a bracket with tension on it, hence why the brake is "locked" remove the bracket holding in the brake line in place {not the hydraulic line!!} Once the bracket is removed simple pull out the e-brake line with a pair of pliers, Shazam! the brake should release. If not a few light taps with a hammer should help. Save the bracket for the e-brake as you will need it if you ever decide to fix it. This is a temporay fix with no real long term affects to your braking system, Except the fact that you will only have one E brake working.

Which brake line is passenger side rear for 2003 cavalier?

For a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier, the passenger side rear brake line typically runs from the rear brake proportioning valve to the left rear wheel cylinder. It is part of the overall brake system, which includes separate lines for the front and rear brakes. To locate it specifically, you can trace the lines from the brake master cylinder towards the rear of the vehicle, identifying the one that leads to the passenger side rear wheel. Always consult a repair manual for detailed diagrams and specifications for your vehicle.

Why is the rear passenger wheel on your 78 silverado locked up?

Sounds like the springs or spring that pulls the shoes back in after the brakes are released are broken. Therefore the shoes are hung in the drums and the wheel is locked up. DRUM BRAKES ONLY.Disc brakes---- Caliper piston frozen are brake line bad / came apart inside. These 2 things will lock brake up.
