Yep, if it is sticking a lot, toss it and get a new one. I know it might be expensive, but it can cause real damage to stick like that.

If it got that hot then consider replaceing the rotor too as its probably warped and/or has heat cracks.

Bearing Hub X1 107.00+ VAT = £125.72 ($235.47)

I'm going to take it to bits clean it, kiss it replace the dodgy looking bits wazz on a seal service kit & its going back together........ I could imagine the garage man having a field day making up the invoice if he got to see this. :rolleyes:
