<VV> Right rear brake hanging up

[Padgett]

>Sure enough the right rear wheel would not turn.

Number of things could cause that but my first thought was if the brake 
drum came off hard, has it gotten adjusted too far out ? Second, do the 
brakes move fore and aft at the top when you push on them (are the pistons 
free in the cyl). Third, any sign of brake fluid leaking ? Do you see any 
shiny spots on the shoes ? In other words check the hydraulics out before 
tearing into the e-brake particularly if the car sat for a while (100 mile 
a year car is a good candidate for silicone fluid).

BTW if the brake is already tight, you are not going to see any e-brake 
cable movement.

I just replaced both rear wheel cyl and rear brake shoes on my '70 because 
they were locking up on me. With proper adjustment are fine now.
