For the last month or so I heard an intermittent metal grinding noise. Because it was intermittent I couldn't figure out from where it was coming. At first I thought it was the front brakes. I replaced the pads about 2 years ago and thought maybe the pads were worn. Then I thought it might be the CV joint.
Well, Saturday I was going to get some sweet corn (mmm, sweet corn) and as I was turning into the farmer's lane I heard the noise. But this time I could tell it was coming from the rear! I got home and took off the tire and drum. Inside were the remains of the self adjuster. I guess somehow the cable broke and the parts were rattling around inside. So if you ever have that experience, check for this scenario!
