Need some help with brakes

[89 Saleen#455]

I was out taking the car for a little ride today. About 20 mins. into the ride I start to smell something like burning rubber. I pull over and notice some smoke coming from the drivers front wheel well. I take a 16oz. bottle of spring water and throw it over the rotor and caliper. It was SCALDING hot. I baby the car home another half mile and soak the rotor and caliper with a hose for about 5 mins. I'm guessing that the caliper might have frozen stuck and the pads were dragging creating that awful smell??? Any ideas what would cause this to happen? Keep in mind, I don't drive the car hard at all. It really only gets driven 10-20 times all year. The entire brake system was overhauled 3 years ago. The rotors and calipers were replaced, the M/C was replaced, all the pads were replaced, and the entire system was bled and purged of air. Any ideas? Keep in mind that the car is a Saleen, so it has the 4 wheel disk set-up from a Lincoln Mark VIII. I just pulled the drivers front wheel, and it seems to turn OK???? Could the caliper reset itself as it cooled? How should I proceed? I'm just not sure what caused it to lock up in the first place and how I can trace the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Rich

Just from not being driven often can cause your piston to freeze up in the caliper. You may have not done yourself any favors by soaking a smokin hot rotor with cold water as you may have caused it to warp.

I swear leaving things in these motors alone is worse than running them hard all night like a cheap ho!

Stuck Caliper slide pins ?
