Rear Brake Help

Was there heat on both sides or just the drivers side? Usually when you change your brakes there is going to be a smell, it's the new pads wearing in. As for the heat, brakes really get hot. So if its only on side, I dont really know what to say about that. Sorry.

Going by what you said, you probably have friction somewhere you shouldnt or there is too much pad to rotor pressure, causing excessive wear and subsequently - heat.

You didnt mention any type of noise associated with either concern.

Did you make any adjustments? I'm not sure what is involved or if there is an adjustment on the rears for our car. Perhaps the piston is sticking? Your best bet is to take the rear brakes apart, inspect for any abnormalities, re-install and see if the problem goes away. That option would be free, just suck up some of your time.

If the wheel is getting hot, it's typically the wheel bearings.
