Yikes ! That sucks, but that is a good reminder to check your brakes constantly before moving your collector car or anything BTW.
When I worked at the local Corvette shop in Calgary, we used to stock about 80 stainless calipers at any 1 time, I constantly was booking cars for brake work, we had a few customers ram our overhead door through out the years.
Let’s face it brakes are a very overlooked item, and seeing as DOT 3,4,& 5.1 brake fluids are hygroscopic and absorb moisture & humidity it causes lots of corrosion & rust, especially on Corvette fixed type calipers. Hardly anyone changes & flushes their brake system and this video is a great reminder not to ignore maintenance. How many reading this can honestly say they have flushed their brake system periodically?
BTW the Emergency brakes should also be used periodically to avoid seizing up.
