| My 1992 chevy 1500 has breaks but driver side caliber gets hot and will not release properly whats my problem? |
| The front brakes do not have shoes, it has pads. Remove the caliper and replace them. The master cylinder is on the firewall under the hood. See this link for brake replacement. |
| Most mechanics make the mistake of replacing the caliper without checking it thoroughly. But many times it is a bad brake hose at the caliper. They get deteriorated inside and do not release the pressure. |
