Hi, Just did all new brakes. Has anyone ever had the brakes stick right off the start ? All Oem parts except for the koyo trunnion bearings. I drove for a few miles and the brakes were smoking when I got home? Bad calipers? Thanks, Mike

Thanks, Complete front end redo. All oem , service manual used for torque specifications, When the Toyota calipers came in from Toyota of Dallas Rust was present on the case but I thought its only a small amount on the case and I get very few bad Toyota parts..... Mike
What’s worse than a complete front axle redo and taking the air out of the lines.....taking it all apart and finding you did nothing wrong and you have wasted grease ,time etc... still thinking Its a bad caliper. Mike
Factory torque
Brakes don't smoke due to trunnion bearings or wheel bearings.
It sounds like one of your pistons is stuck in the caliper.
Was thinking a failed wheel bearing or over tightened wheel bearing could lead to a cloud of smoke
