The reason I had to replace my brakes to begin with was because of a seizure on the right rear. Unfortunately I had to drive for the entire week with the caliper seized before I could fix it. I still have to clean all the rusted brake dust off that rim...

I had to do the same thing to a friend's car recently. In his case, the caliper seized in action, so thoroughly that when he got home the brake disk was glowing and the plastic wheel trim had melted. How the tire survived I'll never know.
