Yesterday, my front left modified BMW 320i caliper began squeeking when pedal is off and going slow. Hit the pedal a couple of times and it went away. Got home and checked to see if caliper was hot. Pretty hot.
Is there a quick fix to this; or does the caliper need to be removed and sent in ? |

Before you do all that, hit the pedal hard, check the drag after it's released, then hit it again, release it, and crack the bleeder. If the drag is released, replace the front hoses with nice new OE rubber ones. The Cap'n
