- Sounds like the shoe is dragging and needs to be adjusted. This is something you don't want to let go. A dragging brake heated my bearing grease to the point I blew a seal and ran hot all the way home from a long trip. I eventually had to pull over and drain the brake line. It was either run scalding hot or with no brakes.
