Ok so after I've driven my vy for a few minutes i can hear my rear left brakes scraping. If i go fast enough i can't hear it but at low speed its very noticeable. The sound isn't constant as it comes around periodically with the wheel spinning.
I jacked up the left side of the car and with the handbrake off the rear left wheel is quite hard to turn by hand (and almost impossible with the wheel off trying to spin the drum).
I did the same to the right side and its very easy to turn the wheel.
I cannot remove the brake callipers as my socket and ratchet are too big to fit in the small space available.
I've inspected the brake pads and they have plenty of meat left on them and they seem to be seated correctly (they look the same on both sides and i'm only having problems with the left)
Any suggestions?
Do you know what it could be?
How much do you think it might cost if i went to ABS Auto and had them look at it (and fix it)?
