Left Rear Brake Overheating -- But Why ? 200

Recently, I backed up my 244 and one wheel locked up. It "broke" free when I put it in drive and gave it some gas. Fortunately, this happened in front fo my own house.

It felt like the passenger rear, so I took off that wheel, caliper, and when I got the rotor off, the braking material from BOTH parking brake shoes fell out on the ground. Even though the steel part was still atached properly, the braking material had separated and had been floating around inside the drum. I could see how if something like that happened to you, a piece might randomely get "stuck" where it would rub continuously.

I was not able to get those shoes from any of the local parts shops. I am waiting for them to arrive from Groton.

Don't know if this is your issue, but if it is it's pretty obvious.

Good luck.
