I changed her brakes for her and a got grease on the pad side of the pad.. Does anyone know if this would cause the brake system to heat up and smoke? Would this cause the brakes to stick? If so would I need to replace the pads with more new ones as far as contamination is concerned?

Cleaning with brake cleaner should get rid of the grease (you should do it anytime that you change the brakes anyway). Did you grease the caliper slide pins? Not doing it could be part cause of the sticking. 98 Silver Frost SVT 97 BMW 540I Sport, six speed "Blue is for sky, black is for soil, and white is for simplicity, purity and hope for the future" "A coveted car should never stunt your life, but should make it more rich and interesting."

Are those the ones located on each end of the caliper with the small boots over them? cta intake essilenger udp odp 9mm ford racing wires hp accel coil custom fog lights svt kit with micahs pre98 svt bumper 17 inch speedy holotype wheels 215 45 Ventus HRII tires custom wood dash magnaflow exhaust

They are only suppoused to get water on them and thats about it. Did you spray "Brake quiet" on the side that touchs the caliper, if not you can do that while you lubrciate the caliper sldie pins which should be done anyways. With them sticking, you mean they are sticking to the rotor and when she drives and it smokes. Cause could be bad caliper, pistons in the caliper not returning.
