Burning brake smell

My front Outer drivers side pad worn completely down, steel on steel, yet inside pad was half meat, and so was passenger side. I replaced both pads and rotors. Afterwards had a burning smell coming from front drivers side wheel, and it was getting very hot, to the point that the lug nuts were hot to the touch. I have now replace the entire caliper for both sides, I bleed all four break lines. However I am still getting a burning smell.

Any ideas?

I did not find the right solution from the internet.

Hi,

It sounds like you’re dealing with a persistent issue related to uneven braking or excessive friction. Since you've already replaced the pads, rotors, and calipers and bled the brake lines, here are some potential causes and troubleshooting steps to consider:

Sticking Caliper Slide Pins: Even with new calipers, the slide pins might not be lubricated or could be sticking, preventing the caliper from releasing fully. Check the slide pins and ensure they’re clean and well-lubricated with high-temperature grease.

Brake Hose Issues: A collapsed or internally damaged brake hose can act like a one-way valve, keeping pressure of the site in the caliper even after you release the brake pedal. Inspect the brake hoses for wear or internal blockage and replace them if necessary.
