**uber noob here when it comes to drum brakes**
I know disks fairly well. Have done at least 10 pairs of them if not more, drums on the other hand....
'95 sport, auto, 155k
So i go to stop today after work and it sounds like i pulled the e-brake. I thought to myself that was weird, and sure enough i go to do it again and the rear wheels are draggin, and i am barely applying brake pressure. It was wet out, so it was super easy to hear. This must have been going on a while, because i always thought this car was really sketchy braking in the snow. Initially i thought i just wasn't used to not having ABS, but I am pretty sure its because the rear locks up and makes it squirly. I have had the car for a month or so, and the ebrake cable/handle doesn't move at all. I assume its rusted in there.
As i drove, it was less apparent. I actually have to slam on the brakes pretty good to get it to happen.
Any help here? I am not afraid to rip apart the drums, a DIY would be super helpful.
