In my 1981 300D the right rear wheel is very hot after ruining 4 miles o less. I have changed the break pads and fluid. The wheel continue hot.

have you checked if the parking brake shoes on that side are too tight?

I'd repack and inspect the wheel bearings as well.

Is the caliper dragging? A collapsed brake hose could cause that.

repacking the rear wheel bearings is quite a job, before you attempt it i suggest you read up on the subject, i do agree with the brake hose theroy

Here is a simple trick for diagnosing brake hose restriction..

Jack that wheel and go push the brake pedal down very hard.. once

Now go try and hand turn the wheel... if it is locked or very hard to turn, loosen the bleeder . If it now turns easily, it is a bad hose .. if it still is hard to turn, you have a sticking caliper or dragging emergency brake.

Thank you
Juan
