Sticking rear pad/calliper?

Post by dweb »

Recently I notcied smoke coming from my rear driver wheel and the smell of hot pads.I haven`t took the wheel off yet to investigate further as I`ve never tried replacing pads on the rear before(only recently replaced my fronts for the 1st time).
Anyway,I`ve just seen a youtube video of a guy who reckons it could be a sticking pad,due to rust and poo build up on the calliper.He suggests filing off the poo from the carrier to allow the pad to move freely.
Has anyone came across this problem?[urlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f8RTOEKUYc][/url]
