Trailer Brake Issue
I have a Heritage, (Piece of Crap IMO), tri-axle trailer with disc brakes on all six wheels. Yesterday after coming off the lake and trailering about 4 miles back to my storage garage, I noticed a smell coming from the trailer. I went back to one side of the trailer and the wheel(s) were very hot, but not smoking. My question is, what is the easiest way to separate a master cylinder problem from an individual caliper problem?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If more than 1 wheel is hot, then look at the master cyl/ coupler. If just 1 wheel, then look at that wheel.
