one of my park brake shoes broke off and i just pulled the shoes out for now and im thinking that was the side i did .so i dont think its them

i took the rear caliper off and it is not froze.but one of the bolts was stuck in the sleeve,could that be causing it or is that a result from it getting hot

If the slide pin bolt is stuck, that could be the cause. They are supposed to be greased and move freely. They are fairly inexpensive to replace, e.g., rockauto.com
