Re: front brake grabbing (locking)

Grind a bevel on the edge of the linings. Sometimes the edge digs in to the shoe & causes this. It could be the hose swollen up inside like HO suggested.
They don't give much attention to drum brakes any more. They used to cam grind the linings & bevel the edges & rivet them on. Now they are bonded on & that's it.
