[QUOTE="blert, post: 1047841, member: 64702"] I'll update this just 'cuz... I lifted the rear end and took the wheel apart. Evidence of much burning on the outboard brake pad. Rotor looks in good shape. Brake line looks in good shape. Caliper looks in good shape and did not seem frozen, though it may have loosened up when it cooled. Parking brake bits all looked in good shape. With everything disassembled, I spun the hub and heard a sound I was not totally comfortable with... rub your hands together. Now imagine that sound as the hub is spinning... 'shh...shh...shh...shh...' Not sure it this is an issue but as I don't have the tools to delve into the bearings, this thing is going to the shop. I would hate to refit the brakes and have that not be the cause of the issue in the first place. [/QUOTE]
