so today i had a severe brake problem. as i braked and my truck would pull hard to the left. once i was home my RF brake/wheel was hot and had a burning smell to it. just wondering what i could possibly be. Thanks in advance

Sounds like the caliper pins are hanging up. Need to pull both sides apart and lube the pins.

my next question is how would i go about lubing the caliper pins. and if that sounds like my problem then my brakes should be alright?

They make a regular brake anti seize compound. Should have it at any reputable parts store.
