How can I tell if a piston is causing this, or if its a collapsed brake hose?
(I really don't like dumping good parts till I find the problem)
btw, The wheel bearing grease is scorched. I drove some hilly streets, and the temp gun shows 100 degree difference. Also noticeably more effort to spin the wheel.

TIA
Ken

Pump up the brakes, then open the bleeder valve. See if the wheel turns. If it does, it was the brake hose.
