Final post on Brake Seizing Problem
Went down the beltway yesterday at an impressive 65 MPH with no drag.
I think what the problem was the fact that the bearings on that side were too tight and once it got hot transfered the heat to the rotor and caliper. After all the work I did to the brakes replacing hoses and all once I took the bearings out cleaned and repacked them its been fine. Didn't tork them this time though I used the same method I use on everything else I put brakes on, snug it down but not so tight it drags and then put the lock nut on and tighten that.
