Front brake locked up on me

Guest

I was out driving yesterday and one of my front brakes locked up. Not totally but the pads were making contact as I could smell them. I had noticed a few times that the pedal height would increase after the car was warm and I did not understand why. Yesterday I heard some squealing just before the brake decided to lock up. Today I plan to pull off the caliper and try to figure out what is going on. Any suggestions on things I should do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. No more driving until the brakes are fixed. Argggg. I would love to upgrade my brakes but that is too expensive for now.
