front brake, not siezed, but HOT!
Was out for a short drive (3 miles?) and when i stopped i could smell hot brakes. When i got home and in the garage, and i touched all the wheels to see if any were hot, and the right front was to hot to touch for very long.... Anyways, this is why i am confused, and this is continuing from a previous issue, where i had to free up some of the calipers as they were sticking from sitting. Freed up all of them, and the passenger side front is the one i'm having the problem with, its not frozen, it spins like it should, so this is why i'm confused. Would there be another problem that it sticks or freezes up when in motion or the car is on??

Re: front brake, not siezed, but HOT!
There isn't any play at all, so i think they are fine, plus, its not hot now, turns out sticking calipers case heat as well... Its all good, they just needed to be used, and unstuck, everything worked out. Thanks anyways though.
--edit--
Also, it the wheel bearing was getting hot because it had failed/was to worn it would make a lot of noise, but all is quiet
