A couple weeks ago I was out at school and started having rear brake problems...no big deal except I couldnt fix it myself. So I brought it down to a GoodYear place thats nearby and they replaced the rotors/pads. But now I'm dragging my rear passengers side brake. It makes a faint, constant squeeling noise and the wheel is hot (burn your hand) to the touch. I was just wondering if there's any easy fix to this problem or if I'm just going to have to replace the caliper or what. Thanks in advance.

 

sounds like you need to rebuild the caliper.. if you couldn't change the pads yourself, then you definitely won't be able to rebuild it yourself. I suggest taking it back to the shop and having them take another look at it. it's a common thing for the slider pins on these calipers to get water in them and rust, then seize up the caliper..

 

Well its not so much that I can't do it myself. I did my front pads and rotors myself, it was just more of a consequence thing. I was leaving for home the next day and I didnt have any tools/jack stands with me out there. And i did take it back to the place to get it checked out, but they said they couldnt see anything wrong with it. but when one wheel is hand burning hot and the other is cool then its pretty obvious there's something wrong with it. I was mainly just wondering what a caliper rebuild would consist of...trying to figure out if i could do it.
