The plan for tommorow was going to be take the caliper off, grease the guide pins, set the adjuster and hope for the best. Ive just read in Haynes that the guide pins are 'self lubricating plastic' (sounds like a recipe for disaster to me) and im starting to worry that they wont just be melted to blobs after such high temps!?!
What would you guys recomend as a course of action? im going to have a proper poke in the morning but is there anything that high temps could have damaged. Also i would have thought that normally the adjuster would be used to tighten the brakes as the pads wear/cables stretch and not slacken them, is there likely to be a more sinister cause? The calipers and handbrake cables were a couple of days old when i got the car and are still noticeably shiner than anything else underneath, what could have caused this problem after only 7k ish miles and about 8 months driving?
Sorry for the long post, any rear brake info would be great
Thanks guys
Owen
