My right rear brake disc is getting much hotter than the others. Is this a rubbing brake pad or could there be a bearing problem? Getting ready to strip it down and just need to know what parts to have laying around.

I'll guess stuck pad in the caliper. Have a rebuilt caliper and brake fluid on hand as well as the new pads. I'd do both sides. You might be able to free up the pad and clean the caliper, but for long term, I'd go rebuilt. You might find the parking brake linkages frozen too, which could also cause the drum to heat up. I cleaned mine and re-used the parts.
