Message:
My girl friend and i were taking a trip to six flags some time ago and she made a sudden stop that caused the anti lock brakes to lock and the car had become immobilized. Is there a way that i can unlock the brakes myself without haveing to go to a mechanic to get it fixed and have to pay mad money for it, or do i have to take it to a machanic?

What exactly happened?
The brakes completely locked up and the wheels no longer spin or after this event, the brakes will lock up like a non-anti-lock brake system will?
When an anti-lock system fails, it is supposed to become a regular set of brakes. If the regular brakes will no longer allow the wheels to turn at all, I would check inside the drum to see if a spring has come loose or broken.
How did you drive home without the wheels turning?

Anti lock breaks sense axle or wheel stopping during breaking and momentarly release the brake. ABS is not going to lock the brakes.

I have had a simmilar problem. My rear brakes lock up all of the time, and I have 235 75 R15's on. I get plenty of traction to the point of not being able to spin my tires that easy but my rear brakes just started locking up when I come near to a stop. It's not like I'm slamming them down either. If I am careful they don't have any problems but this is all new. It's not just one tire either. I was wondering if it was wear on the pads.
