Should rotor warm/hot
Hello,
Did brake pad replacement and fell something was not right.
1) Front rotor on both sides are hot. Barely touchable by finger. rears are only warm.
2) Can still spin the wheel off ground but do feel some touch points.
3) Rotor unchanged. Only new pads.
4) Car decelerates quicker after realizing the gas paddle compare with before changing. Some kind of dragging from brake.
May be need some brake in? Pads close to the piston can be easily moved by finger as it has nothing to bind. However, pads in the outside may bind but how to make it free? There was no quiet clip/hardware at all.
please advise whether this hot rotor indicator anything wrong and how to solve it?
thanks
