question about brake problem??
Hey guys my friend just called and said he drove from his house to the bank (about 10 minutes) with his E Brake on I know he's dumb. He said when he parked smoke was coming from his brakes and then when he tried going in reverse he had to push really hard on the brakes to get the car to come to a stop, what happened to his brakes and will they be alright or what? thanks

He likely overheated his rear hub assembly including brakes and bearings.
It might be time for a thorough inspection of that area.
Meanwhile he should check fluid level in the rear resevoir to see if he has any brake fluid remaining for the rear brakes.
