  listers,

  I'v been having a recent problem with my 87 5ksq non
turbo that goes like this,
 I was coming to a stop sign up a little hill when I
stoped I put the car in nutreal but I didn't roll back
car kinda felt like it had the E-brake on
 so when I got home I checked it and noticed that the
rim and rotor were very hot to the touch so the next
day I took the caliper apart thinking that the piston
was frozen but it wasn't ( and my E-brake cables have
been disconected prior) and blead the system
 didn't notice any thing after that for a week then
while pulling in the driveway at night I noticed the
rear driver side rotor was glowing red but I know that
the calipers are working
 what should I be looking at rear wheel bearings,
brake master
 allso my brake warning light has been on for a while
as well the one on the auto display orange triangle
with BRAKE flashing could this be cause of the master
being bad or brake servo
 I run ATE front rotors with aftermarket HP pads, rear
ATE rotors with aftermarket HP pads, SS lines at all
corners, and ATE super blue fluid
 any help would be great
Thanks
Ron
