Hello all--This is my first time posting an issue so if it is in the wrong place i apologize. The other day i went to the shop and noticed that the rear driver side tire does not free spin when the car is lifted. Is this normal? I assume that since a 2007 Accord EX V6 is front wheel drive, and the tires are off of the ground it should free spin like the other tire did. (FYI, I did not have the emergency brake on.) I took the caliper off of the rotor and it seems hat the piston will not go back in when the brake is depressed. What I would like to know is, where do i start in addressing the issue? Is it a caliper problem/rotor problem/or do I need to flush my brakes? I am stumped on this problem.

Thanks in advance for the help

I'd start with inspecting the "slide" pins to be sure they are moving properly.

Next would be the caliper and brake pad(s). The rear brake piston "screws" into the caliper, be sure it will spin in (there are several tools/ways to do this) pretty easily. Be sure the "tab" on the inner pad lines up on one of the "slots" in the caliper piston.

 

Also be see that the emergency brake shoes are not over adjusted. A.k.a. too tight. Other then that and what has been previously posted the only other thing is the wheel bearing.

 

I don't think the '07 Accord used a DIH (drum in hat) e-brake set up. Hence why you have to "screw in" the caliper piston on the '07 Accord.

Now my '07 Pilot does have the DIH set up but again since it does the rear caliper piston(s) simply press in like the front.
