Rear brakes keep locking up
Im ashamed to say this but ive been chasing this problem for a month now and i still cant find the problem.
i replaced my rear brake shoes ,wheel cylinders , the whole rear drum springs and the flexible brake lines.
my brakes only lock up when i brake hard , and when they do i have to bleed out the nipple to release the pressure from the whleel cylinder.

You might want to list WTF you're working on!!!
This sounds like an issue with the offending wheel cylinder if it only happens to just one cylinder, if both rear wheels then possibly a restriction between the master cylinder and wheel cylinders.
If the wheel(s) lock up does it seem to release after it sits a while?
