[Healeys] Sticking brakes

[pennell at cox.net]

Forgot to mentiion.  I did pull the brake drum and it was dry as a bone inside.  No dampness around the wheel cylinder or on back of backplate.  Brakes have not been touched in several years.  Could there be a binding issue somewhere and so there is need of lubricating some points?

The only way I could free it was to remove the wheel to get enough effort on the adjuster to turn it.  One click released it fully.  Since then several times I have applied the brakes, waited 24 or more hours, and checked again.  Still stuck.
