[Shotimes] SOS... Brake rotor glowing

[Paul L Fisher]

The slider pins wouldn't necessarily be replaced if you replace the
calipers. In addition, if you do replace the pins and pack too much of the
dielectric grease in there, they won't float like they should and you'll get
the same symptoms as stuck calipers.
