Rear Drums Sticking?
I have A 97 F-150 4X4 with rear drums. I noticed the brakes felt like they werent releasing right away after i let of the brake pedal. i took drums off and noticed on the left rear the front shoe moved normal but the rear shoe didnt move at all. on the right side front shoe moves normal rear shoe very very slow, and i could see rear shoe was worn way more than front. So i relplaced on both rear the shoes, all the hardware, springs, wheel cylinders and brake line from cylinders to the proportioning valve.bleed the brakes, and adjusted the drag on the drums. Now i drive it, test it out, feels like the same issue is going on. feels like im driving with the brake on, and right rear gets really hot. Did i miss something? not do something right? anyone have any ideas?

Found it! The right rear parking brake cable was sticking. I disconnected the cable from where it splits off from the parking brake cable, could move the left side but not the right. So i guess its time to get a new right side cable. I guess the cables will rust inside the sheath.
