Thought I just had a leaking wheel cylinder. Turns out that I'm looking at 20+ years of total neglect!
I'll have to clean this mess up, add some new shoes and wheel cylinders, and see what I have then.
No matter what...guaranteed to be double what I had!

Yep same thing happened to me, mine were spinning freely with brakes applied also. Turns out the guy left the adjusting springs out for some reason.
