Looking for advice with this problem. 2015 XB, rear wheels heating up.
With vehicle on stands, and still warm, calipers are not stuck. Can grab axle studs and turn rotors freely. However the assy is hotter than normal, (but not blueing), and a smell of brake material is noticed. More than normal. Brake operations are fine, with no complaints. Just the smell and heat radiating. Not sure if it only happenes while driving, and loosens up when not? It doesn't appear the parking brake is affecting it either.
My main concern is if I need to break open the fluid lines, is there an unusual proceedure for bleeding? I know some vehicals with ABS require some type of stagger bleeding, rather than the conventional 2 rears, and then the 2 fronts, (if needed to go that far). Is there a concern with the ABS system? Is there a pump, and/or control module that needs to be factored into bleeding? Thanks for any help.

Bleed them same as always...

So I guess you're referring to standard practices of , right rear, left rear, right frt, and lastly left frt, while keeping an eye on the master cylinder, making sure it doesn't run dry. If only bleeding the back, then ignor the frts. And as for the ABS, no special concerns with any of the computer systems, or ABS components? If so, thanks for your reply.

Same, same...no special procedures for the ABS.

Gut-cha. Preciate it.

Are the rear wheels hotter than the front?
Should get about 6 clicks on the parking brake...
If you jack it up with the jack under the spring holder, do you get the same result?
