Please Help!!!Front drivers side break get burning hot in my 94 explorer!!!

[jp1985]

Help my Front Drivers front side break get burning hot. And smells horrid.

I have a 94 ford explorer xlt 4x4.

It is only on the drivers side front break.

I thought it may have needed new brakes and started working on the first one and figured I may as well replace everything while at it. I lubed and sanded everything down.

I also replaced everything in the front and all the back brakes, but it still heats up like burning hot and smells burning hot and puts out so much break dust.

I bleed the lines tonight and it feels like it may not be draggin as much but its really hard for me to tell. I am not thinking its the MC because i asked a friend and he said if it was the MC it would most likley feel like it when you start to break.

I have done everything i could think of for it other than buying a new M/C.

Has anyone found the salutation to this issue? If so would you please please let me know. I need my truck to be working again so my family can have use of it again.

thanks

Have you bled the brakes thoroughly? Air in the system can cause the symptoms you are experiencing.

I ill go back and edit it for better information etc..

Did you put grease on the caliper slide pins?

Did you put grease on the caliper slide pins?

yeah after reading about them on here i made sure to do that while changing them. I wish it was them.

Calipers new or no?

The last ranger I owned, I had a caliper lock up and it almost caught fire.

I suppose I might try this: If you can 'catch it in the act', then open the bleeder and see if it relaxes. That might narrow it down between the physical and the hydraulic.

Did you replace the bearings?

 

[jp1985]

yes barring done and packed with grease. New calipers. Wondering if there is something wrong with it so i am going to exchange the new drivers side one( the store recommended i bring it back and exchange it) and work on it some more tomorrow had to stop for the night since it got to dark

Does the tire spin freely on a stand with the pads and calipers off?? Wheel bearings use inch pounds not foot
