My right front wheel was very hot after a trip to town I suspect a sticking caliper. Any help with the will be appreciated

The stock front calipers on the Fiero are just regular piston type brakes. Remove the caliper and inspect it.

You likely have to clean and lube the caliper slides. Especially if they've never been touched.

Which means you'll likely have to remove it from the car altogether - at least, that's what I would do.

I put together a video

Good video there. I'll pass this to a friend. He'll work on this Fiero project once we finish the last mods on the truck. The rotors and ion wheels arrived yesterday so we can take her in tonight.

Rebuild caliper if it is sticking it will be the rubber is out of shape. You could take the pads out and pump piston out see if corroded but all the brake grease won't help if sticking.
