Hi guys,

I recently got home to find smoke pouring from front left wheel arch. The wheel was hot enough to fry an egg. when it cooled down i took the wheel off and saw this;

I don't know a great deal about what I'm looking at, but the shaft on the left looks a little out of whack.

Can someone shed some light? Thanks

ps sorry about the big pic, could figure out a quick way to reduce it...

Upon a second look, I realised the disc pads seems to have locked on the disc, i cant turn the wheel freely. Assuming this is the only issue, what do i do first?

Dismantle calliper and clean out, lube slide pins, new disc and pads if they are ruined.
