Driving home a few days ago I pulled up at traffic lights and could smell hot brakes. Pulled over to find drivers side rear very hot. Gave everything a check and found the parking brake hadn’t released on that side. Gave the calliper parking brake arm a tap and it snapped back into position. Drove home fine. Investigated today. First was adjusting the handbrake cables. Then re-adjusted rear callipers (which are pretty much brand new refurbished from PMB). Finally pinned back the rubber cover to discover the culprit. The cable was almost totally frayed, and the strands had snagged on the cable outer / cable holder, jamming the parking brake on. Not what I’d expected. My disc is pretty messy now… will this just wear off or do I need to clean it?
