Oh dear, I discovered the problem. The spring on the shoe had slipped off, compressor pushed shoe out onto drum, drum ate pad away in no time, metal against metal, and about to give way when i discovered it! | |

If its happening more on one side, check the calliper in front of it... On my car, the front nearside calliper had seized, meaning my rear nearside brakes were eaten away as they were doin all the braking for that side. | |

Is it possible its just dirt in the drum? It seems strange for only one side to go? Should they not wear pretty evenly | |

I have a horrid sound like metal rubbing againts metal from the rear passenger wheel when brakes are applied and also when moving off... my little bit of common sense would indicate to me this means my rear brakes are worn away... |
