      Found cause of brake overheating, a seized piston. Wouldn't budge.after tapping it with a bit of hammer action it moved slightly.pushed it out with brake pedal slightly then pushed back with clamp this took a wee while and eventually it popped out with white dust then fluid.their was. Slight corrosion under dust seal in the reses + piston needed cleaning up too.but how is it all pistons won't push back in unless I undo bleed nipple? Then they slide in easily.

        It's good that you found the problem. Check the caliper fluid inlet is clear.
