Hi Everyone
got a problem with rear brakes , all the wheel clynds/shoes/springs/park cbls
replaced , when i driver around the driver side rear wheel brake tightens up after abt 20 brake uses ,gets hotter than h*** . this is only one doing this i have to pull over and back off the shoes then continue on trying to cool it down then as i do more braking the darn thing tightens up again ,all parts are properly installed and i just cannot figure this out ?? so here i am asking my friends on 150 what could it be

sounds like something was installed wrong. I know you say its installed properly, but have you got a second opinion on that fact?

Or maybe you have a bad adjuster that is installed properly but functioning wrong?

What if you just pump the brakes 20 times at standstill - does it tighten up the shoes such that they are locking?

What style drum brakes do you have? Some of the older ones were set up such that they only adjust when backing up.
