Subject:      hot brakes
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

hey all,
i just got my syncro back from my mechanic.  one thing i had him do was to
adjust my brakes because i just put in new drums and front disks.  i could
not get them adjusted right so i had him do it.  i drove home no problem,
but today i smelled this kind of burning.  it turns out the the drivers side
rear brake was so hot that i could not even touch it and it smelled of
burning.  does this sound like he over adjusted them?  can i just back off
on that brake?  is it possible any damage could have been done?  i only
drove maybe 5 miles on some back roads and a little off roading.  the other
brakes were cool to the touch but not that one.  also, i can barely pull up
on the e-brake, maybe on click and that is it.  he may have adjusted that
too much or could that be the prob?
TIA
jason
