2002 CRV Hot brake smell
I have a 2002 Honda CRV with 95,000 miles on it. Recently I have
smelled what seems to be a hot brake smell from the right rear brake. I jacked up the rear wheels and the side in question moved with no particular resistance. No grinding noises but the disc had a slightly bluish color. I have not felt any brake pulsing indicating a warped disc however. I reviewed Tegger's brake section and took the following action. Removed the piston assembly and cleaned it up. Not very rusty. Removed the pads, thickness in good shape and wear even. The clips and retaining devices are in good shape, cleaned up the clips and movment surfaces. Did not grease as per update. The sliding pins slide like they were brand new. No sticking whatsoever. Pushed the brake piston back with the proper tool, ( this model pushes back not screws ) and it moved very easily. The pads are factory Honda. Reassembled and drove it for 20 minutes. Still a slight hot brake smell. Felt the disc on both sides rear and they were relatively the same temperature. The hub is not hot nor is the CV joint hot or sporting a defective boot. I have been doing brakes for 20 years and am stumped. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

Since you were offering up threads, I thought that maybe, just maybe, you actually knew something. I guess not. |

What a coincidence that it happens to others....go figure." I bet it's a Wal-Mart bag, there are billions of 'em floating around. |

2002 CRV Hot brake smell
what if that tire is severely cupped? I have the same problem on my 98 civic,
and that rear passenger tire has been making noise (vibration at highway speed) for quite some time. I would check your treads for abnormal wear or cupping (cupping is a little harder to see). How about rolling the tire down your driveway to see if it is true? Mine is not. t Siskuwihane wrote: >> On 1/10/08 1:00 PM, in article , "motsco_" >> >[quoted text clipped - 36 lines] >> >> - Show quoted text - > >"I brought it to the attention of my service advisor at the first oil >change but he copped out by suggesting it could be a plastic bag stuck >to the exhaust.
