slammed on brakes now E-brake works better

Hey all

last night i had to slam on the brakes pretty hard and ended up locking the wheels up, well once i got home the e-brake didnt come up as much as it usually did so did this unstick a caliper that may have been slightly draging or something? but the e-brake seems to work better

the brake caliper was probably rusted where the ebrake connects at, locking me up probably just jolted it enough to free it up some.

lol, where the hell would you mount a clunky contraption like that? mount it to the right of your head so you can look all speed racer-ish when you yank on it and power slide.
