I have 96 ES 300, Everytime I drive my car for about 20 min or so around the main street, the car barley move when i go out and check to see what happened.... my brake are on FIRE like heating up and not making the car move, I have to cool down the brake for about 20 min or so then i can drive the car and it still does the same thing every 20 MIN, I went to Merlin Brake Shop around my area and they said it was the Calipers, so I bought the caliper and replaced them my self and I also bleeded the front both side, it still does the same thing, what can be the problem with my brake system.
Please help me out !!!!!!!!
Thanks
Rick

I just replaced the rear pads and calipers, and also front calipers with pads, also greased the pin for the calipers and bleeded the brake system.
I don't have any more problem it brake and works fine.

ok I'm going to say you probably got the problem, but there's one thing you didn't do that could have caused it: brake hose [collapse internally].
the other thing i was going to tell you was to do the caliper on the opposite SIDE of the car to the one you already did. and obviously to do your brake pads for sure!
but since you're golden now, very nice! I hope your rotors were not damaged by this, and further, i hope they are within spec.
