Re: Hot Brakes

Did you replace the front rubber brake lines? They swell up internally and allow fluid under pressure to go to the brakes but not return to the master cylinder.

Also, check the booster to master cylinder push rod to insure it's adjusted for proper clearance, lubricate all the sliding surfaces of the disc pad mounting. If all else fails, it may be the seal on the piston itself not operating properly to retract the piston. Clearances are very minimal.
