Default Brake of 96 LS, 140K

Please help with the diagnosis of the brake problem.

There is very low, griding sound coming from the front passenger side end when I start and and drive slowly the car. The rotor was a little hotter than the other three ones. The brake light brinks for a short time this morning when driving.

I am going to take a look at the caliper and pads in the coming weekend.

I would appreciate if someone can post a brake service manual.

Thanks.

pads are gone or misaligned (shimless) and grinding the rotor down, also it seems to have overheated and possibly boiled ur brake fluid.

recco:
-replace front pads
-Cut front rotors (as long as it isnt too badly scored)
-flush brake lines.
