Default hand brake stuck, lever is down, rear wheel does not move ..

1991 CRX DX .. rear drums

I stated noticing this about 2 weeks ago, and it seems to be temperature dependent, the colder the temp, the harder it sticks.

It's the passenger rear drum/hub/wheel that gets stuck.

As soon as I put the hand brake lever down (from a parked position), and start to take off .. the car moves but the rear passenger wheel still has the brakes applied and does not rotate. I have to do a few stop and go manuevers, and also reverse stop and go manuevers to get the rear brake to unstick. This is annoying and not normal.

What could be causing this ?

sounds like broken hardware on the brake shoes....or possibly the ebrake pivot point is rusted and seizing up

Time for a rebuild. Take it all apart, replace worn out items and re-assemble.
