Got the broken bolts out of the Hub Flange. Piece of piss. Anyway, new day, new problem.
After lowering the car back down after sorting the hub the rear brakes sound like they are constanlty rubbing. It sounds like an old steam train. When I got the bolts out I had to take the front calliper off and also I checked the brake fluid level. The front brakes seem fine but the rears are sounding shite.
I also noticed that the first time I pressed the brake pedal the brakes were uber spongy but then pressure built up and has stayed there.
Any ideas? |

The brake bias valve was replaced recently, so I'd hope it's not that.
I'll try that then Chris. |

My valver when its been sat for a while does exactly this. The rear discs corrode at the slightest touch of rain water. usually takes a few days to clean them up again. Last time it was sat for 4 weeks and the brakes are pants. |
