[Roadsters] Left Rear Brake Locking Up

[Graeme Suckling]

I would suggest you do the same "spring clean" on both rear drums.
Check that there is /_only_/ dust in them and no wet area which would 
indicate a leaky slave cylinder.
Make sure the adjusters are well lubricated, then re-assemble and adjust 
as per the FSM
