After I had adjusted my e brake, the rubber plug fell though and is stuck inside on the real wheel. I tried forever, but it seems like without taking the rotor off, there no accessing the iside if that parking brake drum. Will this cause any issues? I found another way to seal the hole where the plug was for now.

 

And why can't you take the rotor off? It's just 2 bolts to take the caliper off. I've taken mine off to clean them and to make sure everything looks good on a yearly basis.

I'm confused.

 

It's not that I can't get it off, I'm just being lazy haha. I drove it, it's fine. I'll just leave it in there until I take it off at some point.

 

it'll probably get hot and melt from the rotor heat... be prepared for some bad smells.

Hopefully it won't burst into flames...

 

Haha yeah right. Considering the rear brakes do about 20% of the work, it wouldn't get hot enough.

 

I don't see how that is necessarily corollary to the heat produced. The rear's do 30% of the work, and are undersized compared to the fronts for that reason. The heat produced will not likely be as high as the fronts, but I wouldn't doubt it is still enough to melt rubber at times.

 

Just saying, I've felt those rear brakes after use and they're no where near as hot as the front.
