Default brake problem

Okay, I put on some Bendix Brake pads this morning and took it for a ride. I smelled something burning and took it home. The passenger side brakes were smoking and super hot, so i took the wheel, and caliper back off. The caliper seems to be pushing the pads on the rotor i guess, because they over heated. Whats wrong? Air in the system? Bad caliper?

Default RE: brake problem

Does anybody know? I put a new caliper on it, and it seems to be doing better. However, it's still stinking alittle bit, but im thinking thats because of the pads burnt. I'm going to take it for a spin again, and see how it acts.
