HELP!!!! Nose coming from the brakes and feels like its stuck on the E Brake
I had done a tire change and everything was fine, it was the standred 16 inch spare tire. As I took off the e bake and put it into R, it wouldnt go. It felt like the E Brake was still on and when I would go it would make a LOUD nosie as if it was trying to brake. I have an idea of what it is but being a Mercedes I what to double check with you guys. Please Help

make sure the lug bolts are the right size, because if they are too long they will push against the e-btake shoes inside the rear hub and make the springs press them in, therfroe your ebrake shoes will engage and you cant move. also in the long run if they are slightly too long they will damage the e brake shoe and spring assembly.

the bolt length has nothing to do with the size of your wheel. the length of the bolt is dependent on your Hub size(thickness) and use of spacer or not. every wheel is different so no one is gona be able to confirm that except the tire shop. as to your next question, i'm not sure if that os the problem or not so can't tell you if changing the bolts would fix it or not.

Well after a while messing with it I see that when I went back that the noise only came from the passengers rear brake. I seems to be the one stuck, any ideas on how to fix this?
