Took the wife and sister-in-law to the sonic this evening, and when we got there the left front brake was hot; it's 9 miles to the sonic from the house. Not glowing hot, but you could smell it and it was starting to pull the steering wheel to the left a little. We sat there and ate for about 30-35 minutes and when we got on the road to head back to the house it was dragging bad enough I pulled back into the parking lot to deal with it. LOL, that's when I discovered I had forgot to put the 4 way tire tool back in the jeep the other day, as well as realized the stock tool will not fit the new wheel lugs. So I had to resort to opening the bleed port and forcing the caliper and pads off the rotor. I then took the back roads home with out touching the brakes. In the morning I'll tear into it and see if the caliper is froze up or just rusty slides. Do any of you guys have any suggestions as to what I should look for? Thanks for letting me pick you guys brain............
