Problem with rear brake.

Well it's not when I brake hard really, it's when I slow down from accelerating rapidly, not wot, probably 75% throttle. There's no e-brake shoes in there, but on one side I can hear little ticking coming, the one whom I removed the e-brake shoe because it was broke.

Nothing's rubbing against the tire, but I heard rubber rubbing sounds. It doesn't do it always, but when it starts it's terrifying. It comes and go.

On the braking, now that I bled the system, the pedal is as firm as it was before, and it brakes wonderfully. In a straight line, as I wanted it to be. But that strange happening, oh god help me.
 


A rotor would cause such noise, you sure? And then the caliper looks fine, the piston ain't stuck at all... But the wheel doesn't spin exactly freely sometimes.
 
I think it would be the first time I heard rotors makes loud thunk/clunk/ and rubber noise...

Hope the store will cover it under some warranty and give me another...
 


Will try that tomorrow... Also gonna try to empty the remaining of the drum-in-hat.

Hopefully it won't be raining 'cause I got no garage just my driveway.
 
Yeah hopefully, gonna get back to work in the morning tomorrow... As well, only have tomorrow to fix it... Can't even roll to my mechanic place...
 


Urg, hope it's just the disc, because a caliper is about 80 bucks, I'm already down most of my pay... Damned top swap, shocks and brakes.

This issue makes me question my abilities with a wrench.
 


Think I fixed it, there was a bit of metal left from the ebrake cable, the thing that used to squeeze the shoe, removed the chunks and now drove it a bit and not loud bang.
 
Yeah, that's it, it was the little bolt that made push on the shoe that was loose inside the rotor and thus jammed between the rotor and the metal plate behind, hub I think, there was dent mark inside the drum part of the rotor. And I drove it for about 10km without any hassle. Hard, slow, normal, sounds very good, and the braking is... nice!
