You may need to adjust the cable for your hand brake. The driver's side is too tight and the passenger side is too loose. Best thing to do is drop the hand brake (e-brake) down, loosen the adjuster on the drum, then lift the hand brake until you hear 5 clicks. Then adjust the handbrake cable on both sides until the disk just stops.

SOURCE: 2000 chevy 1500 silverado- rear brakes overheating

Have someone push & release pedal while at wheel with problem. See if it takes a while or slow to release. If yes, have wrench ready on bleeder screw, and try again, if it sticks/holds, crack bleeder screw, if it releases, I'd replace hose.

Still have air inside, because you used gravity feed method.

SOURCE: i just put new brake

You might have a sticking caliper, did you inspect the hardware when you changed the pads? Were the rubber boots intact? Is there any chance you got oil or grease on the pads on one side?

SOURCE: What's your problem? passenger rear brake pads are burning

The caliper is not returning or releasing all the way, reason for burning. Clean and lubricate caliper. Light staying on, air in the brake system. It needs to be thourouly bled

I have a 2001 Sebring , brand new rear pads,rotars and calipers. Passenger side is sticking but has a lot of pad left. Driver side seems to work but half the pad is gone. Any idea why this is?

Seems like all the brake action is on the driver's side. If passenger side is sticking, it probably won't move in or out effectively. I would pull it off and check it, maybe you got it crooked when mounting it. Or just possibly a bad caliper. Also examine the brake hose on the passenger side for bulges, or anything wrong with it.

I just put 2 brand new sets of rotors and pads on my 02 s10 4wd because there is a scrubbing noise on the front passenger side brakes. after replacing them one time the drivers side is fine but when you...

Its possible that the driver side is not clamping well. Sticky caliper piston. Forcing the passenger side to do most of the work. This will result in rapid overheating which will cause the passenger rotor to look bad after a short drive. Does driver side still look new? Do you feel any sideways pulling when braking? What prompted you to look again after changing rotors and pads? Since you first noticed noise on passenger side, indicating excessive wear, I think the problem is the drivers side caliper. You could try working caliper piston out and in a few tmes, but usually you want to replace a problem caliper.

Just put new brake caliper on front driver side

Gravity bleed caliper, just open valve and have a coffee break and close it. Did you buy a loaded caliper with new pads on it? Check the rear wheel cylinders they may be the cause of your mushy pedal. They are cheap too.

Front brakes

on the caliper there should be 2 bolts holding it on. loosen one and pull the other out. lift the caliper up or down remove pads open the master cylinder so that you can compres the piston on the caliper. if you dont open the master sylinder cap it will be very tough. replace pads. tighten bolts nice and snug. then with car off pump brakes till tough. make sure you fill the master sylinder up that way no air gets in to it. if you do you gonna have to bleed the brakes. if that happens start at the passenger side rear then driver side rear then passenger front then driver front. please lemme know if you need help or if i helpd at all
