Rear wheels "warm" after rotors/pads replaced
Hello all,
I replaced the rear rotors and pads yesterday and noticed the right rear wheel was hotter than the driver side. The front wheels were not warm in comparison to the rear. Is this normal break in or possibly indicating a sticking caliper?
Thanks for any input.

Okay- so the pads were definitly sticking. I think I have got it figured out. The caliper guide pins were corroded and I failed to replace them when I put everything back together. 
Picked up the guide pins from Napa and I installed them with some antiseize grease. Fingers crossed that I found the culprit.
I bought my gx from Ohio so it has lots of rust to contend with.
