I figure all the brake lines are dirty and not getting brake fluid to the brakes and has caused my rear passenger brake to seize up. It has been frozen on the rotor for sometime, and I occasionally continued to drive to and from work. I figured it was just the rear brake that needed replacement, but now I don't exactly how I should approach this issue. I figure the lines just need to be, cleaned or replaced along with a grease up. But I'm not confident when it comes to ****ing with brakes and the brake lines.

Suggestions would be nice, but it seems I've already answered my own questions.

I also can't believe that I spelled brakes, Breaks.
One by one check your brake lines the rubber ones. Also firstly check the brake fluid level.
