I changed my LR wheel bearing, brake rotor, and pads yesterday. Bleed the brake but didn't add fluid afterwards.
This morning I went out and the hand brake was extremely tight and the brake light wouldn't go off. I adjusted the hand brake tension to how it was before and added some fluid. The light went off.
I took it for a spin around the block to make sure there weren't any noises etc.. but I started to smell burning brakes so went back home and the pads I changed were smoking.
I'm not sure how to trouble shoot it from this point. I tried searching the forum for the last 45 minutes or so and found some stuff to help but not a solution to my problem.
I was thinking the e-brake is engaged, but wouldn't it have been smoking from both wheels? I've changed pads and rotors before on other vehicles but never encountered this. I would appreciate any help or suggestions!
