Picked up a 04 a few months ago and now I am having a problem with the rear driver brakes sticking. Its to the point where I drive 5 miles to work and the wheel is almost to hot to touch. The other 3 seem to be normal warm temp. I took off the wheel and noticed it wouldn't spin freely without alot of force to turn it. Took the caliper off, inspected the pins,pads and turned the piston back in. Everything seems to be ok other than the piston took alittle work to get back in. Is it supposed to turn in easily? Hopefully we can get this figured out as its got pretty bad, I can actually smell and feel the heat from the rotor as I walk by the tire. Thanks

 

I doubt it, but maybe your side brake line is too tight.

 

do the slide pins move freely?

 

Yes, the slide pins move good. They were greased good when I inspected. Thinking it could be the brake line, even when the ebrake is all the way up, the car can still roll if pushed hard enough.
