yeah i know you can just loosen the e brake, but if it suddenly tightned up like that you might have warped the rotor, e brakes aren't made to be used like that so if you use it often thats one of the problems that you will come across especially if its cold outside, kinda like putting ice in a hot drink and cracks.
