Ill test if the caliper retracts once i open the valve a bit

if it does well the caliper is fine

then it would be the brake line....

you check both the front and the rear? Worn out rear will cause bias breaking in the front making them work harder and possibly over heating them

warped rotors?

air bubbles causing the pistons in the caliper to act weird?

abs going out?

the more videos I watch..

i realize that its NOT normal at all that my pads needs a lot of force to be removed / reinstalled in the shims..

Its very tight, which might be the issue here....

guess ill try to sand down the top oand bottom tips that fit in the shims so they are bit more loose..
