[Healeys] Rear brakes locking up

   When was the last time you changed the rear brake hose?  They can swell from the inside and cause the brakes to lock and then only slowly release.

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
