Default Rear Brake Headache
My 2000 Disco II Trek Edition has been giving me fits with a rear brake problem. Last week the pass. side rear started binding. Today replaced hose took for test drive, no problem. Drove it home from shop and it bound up again even worse this time, the rotor is glowing red. Next step is to replace caliper. Does anyone know of any other possibilties that could be causing this or maybe experienced the same thing?

check the brake caliper sliders, i think thay could be binding
you need special grease that's heat resistant.

How many miles on the truck, if it is a high miler, I would either rebuild or buy both rear calipers.

Third. Piston binding in the caliper's bore.
