Following on from this tale of woe:


http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...


Long story short, picked my X308 up from the garage this morning. It's had two new wheel bearings at the back to cure a rough bearing that was MOT failure last week. Driving it home this morning, there is a sudden thump from the back of the car, a violent fish-tail slide and then ABS/TRAC/ASC warning lights. I get home and the wheel well is pouring smoke, with a brake binding on.


Could someone with a better understanding of the back wheel arrangement on the XJ8 explain how the brake has been bound on? Does the calliper need to be adjusted when changing the wheel bearing?
