Brake and Caliber Problems with 2001 Villager Sport
 
I got the Problem when someone replaced my front Brakes on my Villager Sport they smoked and stuck.
The Driverside got looked over and doesn't smoke anymore but the Passenger side still runs hot after more then 40 min driving .
Is there a Inexpensive Solution.

If "someone" is at a repair facility, take it back and have them do it right. If it were a "buddy" who helped you out, you can ask him replace the sticking calipers.Replace them in pairs, do not replace just one. If they were extended out for a long period with thin pads, the pistons often will hang up once they are pressed back in with the thicker new pads.Less expensive possibilities include binding caliper slides but I would think your brakeman would have lubricated them when he reinstalled your calipers. The other possibility is a defective flex brake hose where the internals have broken down and the hose is acting like a one way check valve, not allowing the caliper pistons to retract.
