2011 dodge caravan front brakes extremely hot

A brake pad separator is a tool that you use to seat the caliper piston, I use a c clamp for that, on the front.
If the part is a thin metal piece, put it on the backside of brake pad. I can't see anything from here.

Auto Parts Stores have books for that spec

There is no normal as I don't know what the car is used for and how heavy the loads are and how hard you brake

all dodge caravans from 2002 through 2011 have known problems with sticking calipers. if you google caravan brake problems you will see all the complaints. there are TBI's and recalls on them. I have a 2005 dodge caravan in my garage with all 4 calipers locked up. It is a good idea to replace the brake pads with the best ones and new rotors to

In this tutorial, we learn how to check the brake pads on a 2008 Dodge Caravan, check the thickness of the brake pads on the car to see if they are thick enough.

good day, it maybe the right time for a good brake pad change, brake pads must be totally worn that it has a metal to metal contact already. hope this helps, have a nice day

sounds like the pads were either installed wrong or your forgot the have the rotors ground down. grinding down the rotors would have taken out any extra vibration. if the rotors arent ground flat, the pads will cause vibration as they seat against the uneven surface of the rotors. the clicking indicates that the brake calipher was not secured and is hitting the wheel when the brakes are applied. PLEASE Get a Manual from chiltons or haynes for your car they will help you change your pads and rotors more efficently.

Had this problem on gm trucks. Replaced brake hose to caliper and fixed it. The inner core has failed and the outer core will fill and put pressure on the caliper.

did you have the rotor machined so that the rotor is smooth and flat this could very well be the problem
