i replaced the brakes on all 4 corners.....the caliper sliding pin in my passenger side right caliper broke,so i replaced it with another one that was about 1/4" longer...after i got everything back together is when i started noticing the rotor on that side was way hotter than the other 3.... so today i took the pins out and cut the long one and smoothed it out...so i'm wondering if it was making the caliper sit sideways more since the bolt was longer...the caliper isnt getting hotter any more...its the same as the other 3 ...opinions ?

Yes, it's very possible that the pin was seizing and dragging one of the pads.

Did you lube all the pins really well?

Yeah most likely was the caliper not resting in the center and causing some drag.Sounds like you got it fixed now.
