Freelander 1 Freelander 1 brakes seized

Hello i have brakes seized up, in front only i believe, because they get really hot when i touch them, also they make a loud screeching/squeaky when i drive, especially in reverse.

I first thought it was caliper guide pins, but i took away grease and put new silicone grease but still didnt fix.

After that i changed calipers both front and still same issue…

Pls help

If the brakes are only making a lot of noise and not sticking (stopping the Freelander from moving) maybe take a look at the stone guard, which rusts and can bend and scrape against the moving parts.

I have in the past, had an issue with brakes seizing, even though the caliper is free and working.

I found it to be the flexible hoses that had collapsed internally, acting like a one way valve. Letting pressure to be applied when pressing the pedal, but not letting it off when the pedal is released.
Worth a look.
Cheers

I changed both hoses front as well, the old ones did not look too bad either
