Otherwise, the only thing that worked for me is to put the front tow hook on and drag it with a truck on some dry tarmac. I do feel that now my car has some good miles on it, it is less prone to happened. Probably a bit more clearance between the pad and the rotor than when it was new.
Thanks for your input!!! Much appreciated. Yeah, I think I have to do a better job of drying my brakes out after a wash (although the first time this happened was a few days after washing, still a little confused about that one - that time, it was cool but dry, and I dragged the seized tire on bare asphalt, to no avail!).
Wow - it sounds like your brake seized REALLY hard, too.
And you're right - my car is still very low mileage, so hopefully, like your car, these episodes will stop happening, with more miles put on.

Thanks!!!
