Another thing to check is the brake pedal free play. If there is none, then pressure will build-up in the system expanding the shoes against the drum. I have heard of brakes being locked up with this condition and even getting so hot as to start a fire. It is easily adjusted with the rod between the pedal and master cylinder. Adjustment should yield around one-half inch. This must be checked by hand. Check your shop/repair manual for the procedure and free play amount. Regards - John
