The front right brake of my 1998-s70 seems to be engaging all the time and it generates alot of heat! What seem to be the problem? Thanks for all thought

Most likely slider pins need to be lubricated with brake grease or your caliper needs to be replaced with a new or rebuilt one. Also, you may have to replace the rotor because the excess heat will warp them (these come in pairs).
