I replaced all the pads, turned the front rotors and baught new rear rotors. I ran into problems when i couldnt push the piston back in with my c-clamp, I paired the c-clamp with my channel locks for the twisting pushing action required.

Last night after about 10 miles of driving i got out of the car and smelled brakes on fire, the wheel was so hot i couldnt hold my hand on it.

its only the right rear wheel, im planning on taking the caliper back off and turning the piston back in more, does this sound right to anyone?

sound like a stuck piston in the caliper. do make sure you get the piston completely back in, or it can be a pain. make sure the lines are not pinched also. i dnno baout the wheel being hot though. normally you just see the rotor brightly lit with heat. and when you do this,make sure you re-bleed. its always good to do when you do that.

I pulled the caliper back off and turned the piston in just a little more and now it seems to be fine.
