The right rear rotor and pads were replace on my kid's 2002 Camry. The brake appears to be a singe piston floating type. The problem is that the rotor gets very hot after a short drive. I don't think the issue is an incorrectly adjusted emergency brake, but who knows. I did jack up the right rear and I cannot spin the tire. What steps can I take to diagnose the problem? Thanks.
