hot rear wheel

Hi, One rear wheel is hotter that the other side 80 Celcius rather than 30 celcius.
I'm fairly sure the brakes and handbrake are not rubbing. As far as I can tell the wheel is actually hotter than the drum.
Any suggestions as to what to look t next?

surely its either brakes rubbing or wheel bearing over tightened, normally brakes(hand brake not releasing?) jack it up and test.Joe

I believe the wheel turns freely. I find it hard to tell because the differential gears move as well.
Do I need a special tool to tighten or loosen the rear bearings?

If the bearing is a bit too tight, then it's been like that for 7 years and I've only just noticed because I pay more attention to the temperatures.

With mine it was a seized handbrake. Intermittently got stuck...first time I noticed the wheel was smoking whilst I was filling up with diesel :blink:
