probably need to de-adjust handbrake,remove rear drums, clean out dust,check springs and linkage rods and plates (plates usually break) check linings etc long rod has to be adjusted to give a bit of clearance between plate and shoe. refit drum re-adjust shoes, re-adjust handbrake.if still grabbing load sensing valve will need re-adjusting
