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?<br>

Thanks,<br>
