“3 reasons” your car brakes get too HOT (how to fix it) seized guide pins, caliper, hose 

Good work, now I wish I wasn't broke from fixing this old van.

Great video man. I just installed front brakes/rotors. they're dragging a bit so I'm giving it your 3 point check. I had a slide pin that looked like yours...wishing now I had replaced it not polished it up.

You the man! thx a ton, my FJ40 started having its front disks get super hot after driving... has to be one of these issues... ill pull apart this week.

The guide pin has refused to come off of my brake caliper bracket. I kept wondering why I kept seeing smoke on my passenger side for months now. Just found out the piston and guide pins were seized. $600+ is about to go down the drain. Thanks for the video.

Perfectly to the point! Thanks!

Simple n precise I love the class

Awesome just great other videos dont even show you what could be wrong with it but you did amazing job my friend

Excellent - thank you. That's a job for me tomorrow

Good video mate,

Nah. Don't even bother putting those pins back in. Just replace the whole caliper assembly

i replaced my brakes rotors calipers and wheel berring and my rotor still gets red hot any ideas

Great video, some good editing.

I’m going thru the same problem. I can only drive for like 5 miles and then the car starts to heat up and the brakes lock in my tires start to smoke

This is a great video; I know to check and correct these things. Guide pins, slides, pads, rotors all look great, but brakes overheat at hwy speeds on an old '01 Nissan Quest. The tires start vibrating and rims are too hot to touch. I checked the reservoir and it is at the top fill line. Brake pedal properly retracts. Only happens when it's over 90F out and after 30min on the hwy. Gas mileage good. Both front rims get equally super hot. Brakes look to be in immaculate condition. Has to be something lightly pressurizing the front brake lines doesn't it? What could do this?

God bless you sir, thank you very much for this informative video!

Really helpful. Thank you!

I bought a used honda jazz (2012) and the disc brakes look the same. Rusty. But the brakes work well. Should I be worried with how rusty it is?

"There are three basic things that can cause a caliper to be seized." I chuckled: Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and others.

I did it and one caliper it seemed locked up. Pins were cleaned and move great. I bled the caliper and now it seems like it’s better but rotor still hot to touch. Do you have to bleed brakes with new pads? These are back disc brakes on Chevy Silverado 1500 with drum emergency brake. I think it’s ok now. It rolls nice in neutral. On slight incline driveway it rolls back. I think the bleeding worked I guess. I’ll see if they get hot again to where it had bad burning smell. Bad.

Excellent video.

Thank you so much!

I have a 2001 Ford Explorer and the brakes seem fine, they are not binding because I can push the car very easily and they feel to work very good, but if I am going down a steep long road the brakes burn and smoke pours of them. Any ideas what could be the problem and could it be just poor quality brake pads as I do not know what brand is in it because I have only had it 6 months. Thanks.

Thanks man u fix my problem

thank you

Thank you 🙏

On a 2010 F350 Diesel. How tight should slider pins be ? To a torque spec or just nice and snug ?

One of my rotor rotates just like yours at the last 3 seconds of the video, is that viewed as normal dragging?

I have a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz all-wheel drive I'll drive my car for about a mile and I'll have to wear it I'll touch the rotors the front two and the right rear is warm the left rear is cold should my brakes be all cold or all slightly warm to be normal?

So how did you get the stuck guide pin out if tapping on it didn't work?

My tyres spin freely...all greased up and all...but rotors still overheat and the master cylinder gets very hot as well..

Nice

Now when u spin the rotor how u did in the beginning, should the car be in neutral or park . Having same issues replaced everything ! But the hose . It's very annoying and unsafe

It doesn't look to me like there is much left on those pads. I would put new pads, discs and pins on there!

Hey i just discovered that all of my 4 break discs are hot after a short drive.

Very rusty chief
