[Tigers] Rear Brake Shoe Drag

[Hall Motors]

Rear shoes (especially driver side) stay engaged against drum (i.e.
drag/lock) after engaging the brakes with the brake pedal.  Even after
adjusting the shoes off the drum via the square head brake adjuster bolt on
the vacuum plate, engaging brakes with pedal will reintroduce the drag/lock
condition.  The brake system (actually the whole car) is original
configuration.  The car has sit for several months at a time over the last
two years.  I've inspected the shoes (fine) and bled the system.  I'm
thinking  there may be some crystallized fluid (due to moisture absorption)
in the wheel cylinders, but wanted to know if any of you guys have had the
same problem or have other ideas before I tear into the cylinders.

 

Thanks,
