I know worn wheel bearings are prone to making the wheels hot but would sticky calipers do the same?
The guy I got the car from says he changed the pads / discs not long before he sold it, so is there something he may have re-assembled incorrectly or are the calipers known to get sticky or seize?
I have had a quick look around and there seems to be uncertainty about the changing of wheel bearings.
Just as a general nosey on the web, this place sells wheel bearing kits.

Are they as much of a pig to do as I have read?
I ask as there is an occasional clunk / grind / knock from the O/S when I brake.
There is also a strange "squeek" from that side aswell thats there all the time. Its a bit like the creak / squeek of new shoes, lol, the ones you put on your feet I mean, lol
