Default brake problem... or is it....

i posted earlier about stuck calipers so i went ahead and installed new calipers, pads and rotors.....

everything seemed fine until i took a 15 min drive on the highway. When i got to the destination the same caliper is all heated up and it seems like it's stuck again.. but this time with new calipers and rotors.

On the same axle the wheel bearing is toast (found out at repeater's house) but doesn't seem like there is sound or play while driving.

is it possible the toasted bearing causing the massive heat enough to expand the rotor to the point of sticking?

Default passenger side is seized but it wasn't locked

i had to cut the end ball to change the caliper
driver side (where the problem is) the cable moves fine.

however i will DC it and see if it helps...... tomorrow

Default I had the same problem... even though the cable seemed loose enough

it was actually seized and caused the brakes to heat up

On my 93 90ccs it turned out to be a seized carrier-the last guy never greesed'em. On line I think it was about $25
