My Mark 2 Stag brake drums have been getting very warm, especially after a run, even the rear wheels get so hot you cannot touch them.
I first checked that the handbrake wasn't over adjusted, seemed o.k. Then I asked my local garage to check the adjusters and the wheel cylinders, they told me that all was o.k. I decided to take matters into my own hands and I have just changed both wheel cylinders, both brake adjusters, and both rear flexible hoses(Goodridge). This has made a huge difference, the wheels are not getting hot now, but the brake drums are still getting a little warm after a run down the motorway. Is this normal? Could it be that the drums have become oval with age and need changing? |

Jack up the wheels and see if they are free to move. If they are sticking the adjuster assembly may not be correctly fitted.
