[TR] Brake drum grabbing

[Dave]

 When my TR3 did this it was caused by a wheel cylinder leak that soaked the brake shoes with brake fluid.  I had to replace the cylinder and the shoes (which was fun since they are 10 inch brakes and NLA) and all has been well since.

It has been one of those summers for the TR6. Almost to the point of wanting to
drive her into the river and leave her there!  

Today's problem is a left
rear drum that is locking up under braking. I went to push the 72 out of the
garage (after releasing the e-brake) and found the brakes locked up on the left
rear side. We got her to finally move by rocking her back and forth. Everything
seemed to be fine until I stopped quickly on a drive. That side locked up. Under
slow normal braking it is fine. Suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe B
