I'm sort of new to the Jax S2000 community and looking for some help. I have a burning smell and hot rear wheel on my passenger side. I'm thinking the caliper is seizing up off and on. I've also had a new squeal coming from the rear while breaking, which means I probably need new pads and possible machining of or new rotors.

In an effort to avoid dealership service costs, is there anyone local that does brake work on the side? Or is there a reputable, affordable shop? I've got basic knowledge and tools, but don't feel confident that I can easily do this myself. Not sure I can diagnose the sticking caliper slide pins or whether the caliper needs a rebuild either.

Thanks in advance.

 

I had this issue. It was the pin stuck. I pulled it out and greases it up. I did have replace that pad though.

 

Is it possible that the slide pins can cause a loud clicking from the passenger rear wheel only while braking? this is my issue (dont mean to steal the thread)

 

Clicking could be axle nuts Ryan.

 

Have you changed your pads recently?
