My 1998 Chevy chassis has bendix brakes in back, they went out after 1500 miles of trip north.
hot 300+ degrees at the rotors on the drivers side rear wheel, cooled, bled and all was fine for return 1,000 miles. Mechanic from Sam rs said it would be a good idea to replace with ceramic pads. He said, this type brake uses pressure to release not spring loaded. So when brakes get hot boil off water can't release. My problem understanding is it was a relatively cool day and they failed while on flat land easy braking for hour before failure.
