rear drums sticking
since a few days ago, my drivers side drum has been locking up. The weird thing is though, i put it up on a lift, and i can spin the tire fine as if it were rolling backwards, but if i spin it fowards, it immediately locks up. i replaced the drum, shoes, and hardware, and now it still does it!!!! Any suggestions are welcome.

I had that happen to mine, it ended up being this spring that held the Drums open, I think it was one of the ones around the top. I don't know if that really helps but I guess if I were you, I would check some of those sprngs. You can get all of them at Discount for like 10 bucks.

Be sure that your emergency brake cables aren't frozen, especially the one on the driver's side. Mine weren't allowing the brake shoes to return fully, which caused a number of problems. Hope this helps!
