Rear brakes getting hot

[Highway]

Other day passenger side rear brake was hot. I installed a new caliper and pads and all seemed well. Today drivers side rear was hot so im going to change that caliper also. 122,000 miles on the clock so could be a coincidence but is there anything else I should check ? Also is there a way to bleed ABS using Alfaobd ?

I believe I've read about people from this forum using AlfaOBD to bleed the ABS system. Did you replace the hoses going to the caliper? Those can collapse internally and cause the brakes to drag.

Thanks…. On the rear brake hoses i watched a youtube video and it showed you have to flare the hose before installing, is that true ?

I think that depends on brake hose assembly, you maybe able to get factory replacements that have the steel line attached to the hose.
Check with your local auto parts stores if they loan the flaring tool if you need it.

Think it was a coincidence on the calipers?
