front brake sticking

[idkiliketurbos]

I am having an issue with my front driver-side brake sticking. When I roll to a stop, I feel the car stop and 4 times out of 5 I will feel the car stop as if the brakes were engaged a little. When I get out of my car after a drive the hub area on my wheel is hot compared to the other wheels. I checked to see if the wheel would turn while of the ground and it definatly had resistence. With the caliper off the car the hub spins freely. I have replaced the caliper and the brake line and bled it and I am still getting the same result. Any pointers would be great. Thanks guys.

Pistons in the new calipers you should be able to press in with your thumbs. The brake pads themselves should move freely in the brass clips. If you have to open up the c channels at the ends of the brake pads with a file it ok. They shouldn't be sloppy but should move without any great effort. The caliper slider bolts should be in good condition. The caliper should be able to slide back and forth on them freely. You can check this by removing the brake pads and sliding the caliper back and forth. Replace them if they are bent. Lube them with hi temp silicon brake lube. You can get small packets of it at and car parts store.
