Quick question.
I drove my SMB about 1000 miles a few weeks ago. No problems.
I drove for about 10 minutes yesterday and the rear drum was smoking. Not too bad. About like a cigarette. I wouldn't know the difference between burning grease and burning brake fluid.
It was not smoking after the next 15 minute drive.
No noise.
I am thinking a small brake fluid leak. I will monitor the levels. I had the front brakes professionally redone 2000 miles ago.
If this were a bearing going bad, what would the warning signs be? Smoke and flame?
The hub and wheel were cool to the touch.
Thanks
Tom
