New rotors and pads issues after install

Hello,

So I Decided on this Easter weekend to change my rotors and pads front and rear.

I installed the rotors and pads and everything seemed to be fine but my front passenger rotor gets extremely hot compared the drivers side and both rears.

The car does not pull when braking.

I did do a bed brake in as well after and still the same issue.

Do you think that passenger side rotor isn't fully releasing? Maybe I should check the slide pins again?

Jack up the front passenger end of the car, and check if you can rotate the wheel freely by hand.

The caliper may not have released completely, and is grabbing the rotor.

Yes, check the pins ,make sure they don't stick and move freely,also make sure that there is not too much grease inside and you can push them all the way in with your fingers...
if that does not help ,it may be a sticky piston problem....

Make sure you Le caliper hose isn't twisted, sounds like that may be the cause.
