Brakes smelling bad after replacing - Caliper Problem??
I've got an 89 GT and I replaced all the brake rotors, drums, pad, and shoes last week. After driving around I noticed the front right wheel (passenger side) smells like burnt brakes and it feels fairly hot there. I then replaced both guide pins (including washers) thinking that could be the problem, and then I tested it out. First I lifted the passenger side and then put the car in drive. The wheel turned without a problem and the brakes stopped the wheel fine. I did the same in reverse and everything ran great. Then I just took the car today to work and that same passenger side wheel smells strongly of burnt brakes. My brake pedal does not vibrate at all and the wheel is still moving when I let off the brake, so I don't know what's going on. Is this smell something normal when replacing brake parts? Will it be something that will go away soon, or did I mess up on installing the brakes?
