hey guys was on the way on Friday to get some new tires as the tire guy was taking off the left rear tire he said to me your wheel seems a little warm nothing was leaking or anything i still have rear brakes so could this be the wheel cylinders that could cause this

if one side was warmer than the other, the shoes are probably not adjusted correctly

or possibly the ebrake stuck on that side.

Yeah, pull the rear drums and take a look-see. Use the good side as a template. I doubt that it's a bad wheel cylinder, but can't rule that out. The driver side has the bleed valve, passenger side wheel cylinder doesn't.

Two 8.0 x 1.25mm thread bolts will help extract the drums. You may need to retract the shoes through the access oval if they are dragging on the drums.
