This is a sad story.
My good friend was towing his Honda CR-V behind his big diesel pusher RV. Unfortunately he did not attach the steering wheel/brake lock properly on the CR-V. This caused the brakes to drag on the Honda, but the massive RV pulled like nothing was wrong.
Well, he stopped 100 miles later and when he got out he noticed all four wheels on the Honda were BLACK, and all the rotors scored and BLUE. Upon further examination he found that the brakes got so hot, it actually melted the outer CV joint axle boots!!! Given that, the calipers are surely toast, as are the wheel bearings. No pun intended.
What a bummer. He's a car guy too and can't believed this happened. I suppose it's why there are erasers on pencils.
Can you imagine!?
