brakes grab

when i get in the truck first thing in the morning the rear brakes lock up and squeel the first 2 or 3 times i use the brakes then they are fine. What is causing this? I replaced the drums within the last 3 months

that would make sense. How hard is the seal to replace?

I did mine over a year ago... axle seals were leaking pretty bad. I ended up doing a whole rear end service. How long do those seals last? I see I have a moist drum again..pry axle seal = pry why my parking brake sucks.
