Uneven brake wear

SOURCE: Passenger side front brake caliper is not releasing.

well your brake porportion valve is not working right oh well good luck

SOURCE: front brakes overheat

Sounds like you have a caliper that is sticking. That will generate alot of heat. The caliper probably has a piston that is stuck. Just a suggestion. Hope it helps. Good luck.

SOURCE: uneven brake pad wear how do i fix it?

Unless one of your calipers is sticking or not engaging fully then there should be no reason for uneven wear unless you have a defective pad.

There will be uneven wear from the front to the back however. About 60% of the stopping power is provided by the front brakes and 40% from the rear , so your front brakes will wear faster than your rear brakes.

SOURCE: Why brake pads wearing uneven?

When your brakes are applied, the piston which is in behind the inner pad, pushes the pad outward against the rotor first,then that in turn basically pulls the outer pad and assembly inward for the sandwiching affect, squeezing the 2 pads together on either side of the rotor. Although there will be a little difference because of that, other things can effect how much wear difference that will occur, such as poor lubrication of the caliper slide bolts etc, as well as perhaps a partially seized caliper, or even a defective brake hose at caliper, as well as worn bushings in caliper that allow too much play, causing caliper to shift too much. Checking and keeping all those moving parts lubricated properly, will minimize uneven wear.

SOURCE: brake petal goes all the

the bolts are getting really hot because the friction of the pads running on the rotor the whole time whilst driving.
the pedal problem could be a few things but the most likely is either that the brake fluid needs replacing because it's got water in it,
there's air in the lines or the brakes master cylinder seals need replacing due to age.
