Default Non-spinning wheel ???

I've got a 91 accord ex.. all three wheels run and spin, but the drivers rear wheel is locked in place and will not spin. Is it the wheel bearing or ???

... or a stuck brake caliper? Are the caliper slide pins seized? The best way to tell is remove the brake caliper to verify the wheel bearing spins nice & smoothly.

Most often, it'll be the brake. Seems like wheel bearings will make horrible noises for a while before they completely seize up.

I agree with Jim, its more than likely a frozen caliper. It would take a lot for a wheel bearing to be so far gone it doesnt even spin.
