I can hear the air comming out of there when the engine is off and I pump
the brakes.

The drums were warm at best, it was just the hubs i.e. the bearings that
were hot. As to temp, I'd have to guess 150F, certainly well under 212F.
Besides the front hubs were only warm.
I'm heading out for a drive just under 200 miles thursday and then return
sunday and I really don't want to do a hub job on 4 hubs tomorow, I don't
even have all the parts yet. I will eventually do all the rear brakes,
bearings seals, etc but I didn't want to have to do it now.
