<VV> Easy brake question?

[mhicks130 at cox.net]

The rear brakes on my LM locked up going forward but not reverse because the rubber hoses were old and bad.  They apparently let fluid go one way but not the other.  New hoses and everything's fine.

The not in reverse bit comes from the "self-energizing" design of the Corvair drum shoe mechanism design - I think.

What would cause the rear brakes on an early to lockup when driving forward 
(even without pedal pressure), but not when driving backwards?  Shoes on 
backward?  Adjusted too tight or too loose?  
 
Thanks in advance,
