passenger side front brake problem
Hey everyone im new to this forum and im looking for some advice on a problem im having.
My front passenger side wheel/rim/rotor/caliper are burning hot.
its ten times hotter then the otherside. Heres what ive done so far, ive changed the rotor caliper both new on both sides i also changed a bearing on passenger side
when i jack the truck up the wheel seems to turn with the same friction as the otherside witch it didnt before i put new rotors on. I cant figure out whats going on anymore
ive read alot on this problem saying sticking calipers but they are new
ive read also the the hose may be callapsed but its uncomon so ive heard.
any other ideas so that i can trouble shoot this problem some more before i take it to the shop

Replace both front brake hoses. It isn't rare, or uncommon. On high mileage/age trucks, it is quite common.
Try this: Step on the brake, pump 'em up good. (front end jacked up.) See if the passenger side is releasing properly. If it isn't, crack open the bleeder, if it now turns freely, you just proved the soft line is bad.
Please add your truck info to your sig line.

Thanks
hey, thanks for the quick reply i guess i have no choice but the change the lines. i might have hurt it when i pinched the line to do the calipers. But when i did my bearing i had noticed the intense heat before the calipers wher changed.
i did the test you suggested before and thats exactly what happend when i opened the bleeder the wheel was able to spin again
hopefully this will solve my problem because i have nothing left to change after the hoses.

well i switched the hose for a new one hopefully this was the issue im pretty sure also while i was driving i would here a hissing noise coming from that side maybe this was my pads grabbing the whole time.
when i would park the truck and go to the passenger side to inspect it would also make noises like the caliper forcing itself back into place and go tock tock tock .
anyways thanks again for the help ill let you guys know if its still acting up later ,
