I posted this on the Group at the end of July....
This was a hasty opinion, and is not correct. The pads are well clear of the disc, and the caliper moves freely, just a mite, from side to side.
After a vacation, I started to 'try' to fix the problem, and so far have gotten nowhere. Thinking that the wheel bearing was kaput, I changed the bearing. That was a just a waste of time and money: no problem there.
After running the car for appx. 15 min's [ or less time if I brake hard several times ] the left front brake starts to 'rub' ; then within minutes the entire disc/caliper assembly is smoking hot, and the wheel locks up.
At that time, removing the front wheel shows the pads tight against the disc. Pushing the brake pedal has no effect - does not free the pads. Gradually as the heat dissipates, the disc is freed and, when cool again, the entire disc can be spun by hand easily with no apparent contact between the pads and the disc.
Sure could use some advice / direction, I am getting nowhere.... fast. John Hewitt Malaga Spain
