Rear brake locked up

[xmmotorsports]

Anyone ever had any issues of their rear brake locking up?
My adjustment nut into the master cylinder vibrated until the rear brake locked up. It didn't skid or anything, but felt like some 500lb woman jumped on board with me.
I pulled over (needless to say, it didn't coast very long after hittin neutral), & my rear disc was red & smoking.

I would pull the caliper. Probably have some crap and rust on the cylinders... if so, will need to rebuild it. Sul has done a few... says its easy.

It's not hard to rebuild the caliper. Sul did mine and it took about 45 minutes. Once you pull everything apart jsut make sure that all the o-rings are good. If not you'll need to get a rebuild kit from PM. Sometimes the pistons get build up on them and they freeze.
