Rear break problem

[MLMercer]

Hi all

I'm having a problem with my rear break on my hybrid and I am hoping that someone out there will be able to help me out.

The problem is the break clamps fine but does not release properly, and so the break pad stays in contact with the wheel on one side. It seems to me that it releases on one side but not the other.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to fix this :confused:

Your help would be greatly appreciated :)

What kind of brake? If it's a ProMax, adjusting the centering screws may or may not do the job. I hate 'em.
