Well not literally of course (although some may wish )
Today I decided to sort out my brake problem oh:.
Since I have had the van the right side has squeeled (sometimes) and squeeked (sometimes.)
Thinking I have had this type of problem before I thought I would add some copper grease to rectify. I then got the Pads out too look at them and found pretty much as Brian (hilldweller) did. Pads with plenty of wear but practically falling apart. I therefore thought in for a penny in for (seemingly a few hundred) pounds. I purchased new pads and fitted them. Although things were slightly different to when I last carried out an opperation like this (about 1990) the principle seemed pretty much the same.
Ok so new pads on and nicely coppergreased up, problem now seems to be that the right hand side seems to be binding? :Sad: making a rather weird noise at very slow speed. However when running the van it is not pulling to one side, neither is it under braking, in fact it appears to brake rather well :thumb: The problem though is that after my run of about 1/2 hour, when I pulled up at home I had a lovely smell accompanied by a nice bit of smoke from the right hand wheel.
What have I done wrong?
do they need to bed in?
why o why o why? :Sad:
