Back right tire seized up and won't turn - 2001 Cadillac DeVille

Take it to a tire shop and get your tire balance checked
Balance weighs could get lost over the time and you won’t notice the vibration unless you are missing those weights.

Timbo, Sounds like the right back brake hardware may be damaged or seizing. Take in for free inspection at some larger repair places.

rear end lock up passenger side tire wont turn Chevy and GMC Duramax...

it appears that the brake is faulty and when in forward direction is putting itself on. It is free in reverse. check the brakes are in good condition and properly retained

has the wheel bearing or break shoe perhaps seized

Check the slave the connects the frame of tire.check to see if allined.have u ever hit a curb?

either brakes are seized or the wheel bearing is seized. most likely the brakes are what seizes up. just jackup, and take tire off to check it out. it maybe a stuck brake, rust or dirt, or maybe a broken spring or two. good- day ! but first reach in back of tire and pull on the e-brake cable a few times at the problem wheel, it may be binding.

check presure in spare tire /and some it takes so many mile for reset

This is not uncommon. Rust builds up around the hub where the wheel meets and rides. Take your spare wheel/tire and with the lug nuts removed, hit it from the back side as hard as you can while turning it with every hit. It will come loose!! Then when you get a chance, remove each wheel independantly and put "Anti seize" around all of the hub areas. Never again will your wheel stick.

After you open the rear hatch look on the sill of the frame on the right hand side of the truck. You must insert the Jack crank into the hole and turn it counter clockwise to release the holder and the tire will tilt down from underneath. If it does not release then you may have to pull it down as the mechanism has been known to seize. After you open the rear hatch look on the sill of the frame on the right hand side of the truck.

Check rear bearing and be sure there is enough axle grease. A seized bearing will cause the problem you describe.
