brake issue - need some advice
 

Well I'm not the most experienced brake guy out there. Mostly because in all my years I have had almost no brake issues - until now.
What is happening is that my right rear is locking up. I have to really gently come to a stop or it locks. It seems to release fine. It locks both when braking normally and if I use the parking brake. But when I use the parking brake it doesn't seem to go into lock as quickly.
Anyhow, before I get out there in the cold and start pulling axles and drums, I thought I'd see if I could tap the collective wisdom and experience of the forum to see if you could point me in a direction more quickly.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Wheel cylinder leak or axle seal leak!!! Shoes get grabby when they get wet. Drum pulling time.

yep, what geezer said. check the adjustment as well and make sure they are adjusted right, e brake cable not stuck etc.

I agree my rear axle seal leaked and caused this problem also. This can be very dangerous driving with rear brakes locking up.
