Hi Jorge,
It may be possible you have brake fluid on the shoes. That could cause them
to grab.

The rear brakes on my BJ8 lock rather easily. I can
hear the rear drum brakes squeal and lock up from at
25-35 mph when I am stopping at a STOP in the
neighborhood. I have checked the rear brake shoes and
they are not worn. What could be causing the premature
locking of the rear brakes?
Thanks
