My brakes on the rear left side of my 1993 honda accord are squeaking. It set for about 2 weeks or so and I noticed this when I started back driving it. It seems like the brake pad is 'engaged' against the rotor. Is this an easy fix for a novice?

The brake caliper piston may have frozen, if you have not regularly changed the brake fluid. Honda recommends changing it every 24,000 miles or 24 months. I would pull the caliper off and check everything out. Be sure to clean and lubricate the caliper pins with silicone grease or Squeak Relief (silicone grease with moly).
