Brakes Sticking

The front right and back left brakes on my 2005 Ford Mustang are heating up to high temperatures (i.e. 250-300+ degrees) while the other 2 brakes remain under 175 degrees. The brakes that get warm have an odor to them sometimes but have not yet turned red. I'm sure it's something simple that my father and I are overlooking but non the less we are still stumped. Any thoughts or ideas on the cause?

Caliper is probably sticking. Lube slide pins and replace it if that doesn't work.

Might have to go deeper and pull and lube the pins...Sometimes the grease dries up and cause the pins to seize up causing an uneven application of the brakes...you are going to have to pull the pins out and lube with a high temp silcone grease. dont use anti seize as its not made for high
temps..

I'll pass this information off to my father. I'm not sure if we tried this one yet. Thanks!
