Came down a long winding hill with my foot on the brake of the van to a stop at a roundabout. Smoke pouring from the passenger front wheel and it's too hot to touch. I think I have to lighten my load.

Couldn't you have thrown your balls out of the cab to act as a pair of anchors?

I was. Just felt the wheel as I got home and it was red hot again. Looks like I have a sticky calliper ffs.
Is it just a matter of strip, regrease and reassemble or will it be fucked? I need the bastard for work tomorrow.
