Rear Drum Brakes Grabbing

I would not think its a shoe issue, but maybe its a fluid flow issue, not returning to the MC. I have had rubber brake lines on the front collapse and would not allow fluid to return to the MC.. The rear is all steel lines except for the one flex line.. I would also look at replacing that flex line in the rear too.

Yes it does tighten back up after I back off the adjuster. after a couple of days of reverse stops. Brake lines in front are new along with the Disc brake convertion,. rear single hose looks fine and lets fluid return for the other rear whell just fine and like I mentioned the flow seemed good when bleeding as well as reverse bleeding with my Phoenix DIY, I have to go slow or there is a geiser under the hood at the MC.

It seems like the slave cylinders ar not good but they have now been replaced with brand new ones, and I checked the new ones for smooth operation.

When I take the drums off the shoes arn't fully returned and seated on the top capstand pivot point. But like I said the springs are all new and the shoe rub points on the backing plate are smooth and greased lightly with lithium.

I do brakes all the time but this one has me stumped.
