Need some hive mind help.

The rear wheel on my 29er is locked up. How can I check to make sure it's the freewheel and not the disc brake? Internet is not helpful.

Take the wheel out and spin it in your hands, or just try to turn the freehub body.

If the brake is locked on, you probably won't be able to pull the lever.

Ok. Ta.If it is the freewheel - service the hub? Or bin?

Sometimes the former leads to the latter anyway based on the mechanics advice. Just trying to cut out the middleman if I can.
