Work your way through one step at a time. If you end up with a gearbox going tight on you I apologise in advance!:D

Both rear wheels spin, but they feel restricted as if the brakes are binding. The rear O/S wheel turns freely and then jams, cant get a full free turn.
The shoes must be sticking on the N/S more so as the burning smell gets quite potent. :shrug:
You get the same feeling when driving, she is being held back as if the brakes are not releasing. When pulling away it feels as if the rear brakes are being applied, the car wants to twist as if one rear wheel is stuck.
I take the drums off and the hubs turn freely, you can see the propshaft rotate, the handbrake mech also releases and cylinders seem ok.
I've got new shoes, cylinders and brake spring fitting kit, I will get a new flexi hose for the rear also, it looks like it has seen better days. I'm trying to locate new 8" drums (203mm), but everywhere are out of stock even though many websites state instock, its not until you place the order you get told... Sorry out of stock... :shrug:
My other worry is the constant hiss from servo, is it master or is it servo, but which part? The pedal test says servo is ok, pump pedal a few times, hold pedal down and start engine, pedal drops an inch... I'm hoping this is a good sign. :}
