All three right side brake magnets broke off

Checked clanking sound on right side wheels. Found ALL THREE brake magnets on right side broken off arm. What the heck could have caused this.

Were you by chance going down the Hiway and stop and when stopped walked around and found that this 1 tires what hotter than blue blazes? I cannot answer your question, but this happened to us 2 years ago enroute to FL. Ended up taking wheel, drum off, cutting brake wires and removing entire brake parts. No further probs. Called Dexter when we got home, sent them pics and they sent me a whole new set of things. Never did find out the cause. Ran it w/o brakes on this 1 tire rest of the year and installed new parts in spring of '19 at it's inspection.

The magnets will fall off the arm when worn out. That is why it is just as important to replace them when the shoes are replaced.
