bushwwacker Well-Known Member Oct 31, 2013 #5 hot = skin off fingers. warm = can press on fir a couple of seconds. Cool = nice to warm tour fingers up on. Which? as suggested caliper guide pins or crusty pistons. mine had a stuck piston and within ten miles the wheel was skin off and smoky brake pads.
