The caliper will likely need to be rebuilt. You've probably warped the carpolla out of that rotor too. The ones in the rear are pretty lightweight so they build up heat real quick.

The cable probably frayed inside the jacket and caused it to bind up. It happened on my old Legend and was a huge pain in the ass to replace. I had to rip out half the interior. Hopefully they've designed it to be easier on the TSX.
