rear brakes locking Posted by Ryan [Email] ![]() ![]() |
I have a 1990 900i hatch, which I just bought about a month ago.
As part of the sale, new rear brake pads were fitted, and a couple of days after I got the car I took it out for a long drive (as you do!). On returning I noticed a squeaking noise and so when I arrived home I pulled the brakes apart to find I had lost half of the new brake pads. I figured the pads had been incorrectly fitted/adjusted - so I got new pads and seals and did the job myself, following the manual to the letter. Everything seemed to be fine for the next few weeks until yesterday, again during a long drive, I noticed a severe drop in performance. When I pulled over the rear wheels were smoking and there was the distinct smell of brakes. It seems the pads are getting jammed on for some reason I can't explain (I am quite positive it isn't the park brake getting stuck) ... can anyone help????
