Reply to "Brake problem"

If the master cyl was removed or replaced, the push rod may need to be adjusted (shortened). If the push rod is too long, it will not allow all of the brake fluid to return to the master reservoir. When the fluid heats up, it has no were to go except to push the caliper pistons against the brake pads.

If you think that this may be the problem, create the brake drag problem. Stop the car on level ground and loosen the nuts attaching the master cyl to the brake booster. Pull the master away from the booster slightly (1/8" to 1/4" should do). You may have to use a wedge (screw driver) to pull them apart and keep them separated. Now see if the car will move by pushing the car.
