brakes wont make the whining m8 - if a pistons sticking out it can cause drag on the disc which can give a fair bit of heat - might have dried the bearing out - free the caliper of first then regrease the hub - that should sort it

you can get a caliper kit and put new seals in the pots. seen thread describing how its done and doesnt look too hard. scoobyworx do the kits.
