Reply To: Roasting my brake disc

[Richard Kirshy]

I assume the wheel that is over heating is the same one you stated did seem to fit properly.
Possibilities:
Seized caliper
Binding brake pads
Caliper hardware installed improperly
Rust jacking ( did you clean the caliper brackets of rust prior to reassembly?)
Sticking caliper slide pin(s)
Faulty brake hose
I would suggest redoing that wheels brake assembly and find out exactly why it didn’t fit together as it should.
