Sounds like the shoes are rusting to the drums. A good coating with oil ought to stop that pesky seizing up problem.

LOL ;-P Its Friday - DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME - or any other place for that matter....

The rear brakes seize up if I leave the park brake on for more than a couple of weeks. That turns into a driveway tow and new brake pads. Ouch. Is there some magic that would allow me to use the park brake when I am not driving Wursty every week?
