Hey, 1952 F1 new ( Abt. 4000 MI.) bonded lining on one rear wheel started to drag and get hot. I started to smell the heat, drove home,abt 2 mi., pulled the drum and the linings fell out on the floor. The parking brake was not dragging. I think the linings were already loose when I started that 3 mi. run. I've never heard of bonded linings failing like that. Does this happen often? Could they fail if the parking brake was half set, barely dragging, and not hot enough to smell the heat? Whatcha think. Jerry
