The problem with blaster rear brakes is that when water gets inside, it quickly makes to inside rust. The automatic brake pad adjuster can't tighten. What works for a while is taking apart the caliper, clean it real good, and fill it with waterproof grease. The grease keeps the water from getting in. The only problems with this is that when the pads adjust they squeeze out the grease which could make their way to the rotor.
