Have i got a collapsed brake pipe??

[BLUETHUNDER]

I've noticed sometimes,that while driving in town traffic for a while the vehicle starts to drag as i am driving.Once i've stopped i've noticed a burning smell.On checking the hubs,my right rear is almost impossible to touch. Its that hot.

I've had the H2 on a ramp when things have cooled down,and the rear right free wheels as normal. Could it be a collapsed rear brake hose??. In effect acting as a shut of valve when the fluid neads to return??.

Hi rubber flex hoses can collapsed on the inside, but it will look normal on the outside. I have seen it happen a few times. After a test drive, block the front wheels lift the truck up with it running in neutral and have a helper push the brake while you try to turn the wheel then get them to release the brake it should turn as soon as they release the brake pedal. It could also be that caliper starting to seize after driving for awhile. Hope this helps.
