Narrative:

While cleared to back taxi down runway 32 at panc, controller told us to expedite due to aircraft waiting in position to take off. As power was applied to expedite taxi, left brake locked up and we veered off runway 32. Luckily, we went in between taxi lights and no property was damaged. While back on the ramp, maintenance advised of a sheared wheel bolt that probably caused left brake to momentarily lock up. Wheel was removed and replaced and flight continued without incident 2 hours later.
