So i changed out out all my pads and rotors. Everything seems fine and well. Did a test drive and the right rear tire is smoking after less then 2 miles. Took the wheel and caliper back off. Everything seemed to look ok. Of course it was hot as sh*t, and smoking from the pads. The rotor is dicolored also. I think the most likely issue is not making sure the slots on the piston were vertical so that it would fit the notch on the back of the pad correctly. The caliper is working, as it expanded and retracted as its supposed to. Dont see any fluid leaking around the caliper, lines, or piston. And i dont think i kinked the brake line at all, as it hardly has any flex in it to begin with. Any other thoughts comments or suggestions that I should be looking for short of a certified mechanic??
