How to bleed brakes on 1992 olds eighty eight?

just replaced pads and rotors on front, now drivers side rotor gets way hot,smokes anyone know what i did wrong? ive changed pads and rotors a few times and never had any problems.How to bleed brakes on 1992 olds eighty eight?well if u never opened up the bleeder you should not have to bleed the brakes at all. If your rotors are smoking after u used them a few times and getting too hot i would check to make sure your slides are working. take the caliper off again make sure both of the slide pins are not frozen or one is not frozen. Also, make sure your brake hoses are good, sometimes they can collapse inside and not let fluid come back and keep your piston held down. So if you don't have bad slide pins i would go with a brake hose.How to bleed brakes on 1992 olds eighty eight?did the slides move freely? did the piston push in freely? you may need to replace the caliper and hoseHow to bleed brakes on 1992 olds eighty eight?caliper seize up. you need to replace it or rebuild it.its your choice.or brake hose collapse.How to bleed brakes on 1992 olds eighty eight?sounds like the caliper (the part that moves in and out and holds the pad, is locked in the out position. doesn't sound like you need to bleed the brakes. you only need to do that if you've compromised the system and lost fluid and or let air into the system. take that wheel off and work on getting the caliper to go in and out (back) like it should. maybe the pad isn't setting in it's place correctly and is jammed up against the rotor. without getting the pad wet why not try some wd-40 in there to see if that will help. then wipe the excess off. make sure you can see it going out and then returning in.
