Icon6 Need Help! Right rear drum brake keeps locking up.

Recently my civic rear drum brake keeps locking up. Just the right one. I've taken it apart and reassemble it, but still no luck. I adjusted the gear all the way in so the shoes wouldn't touch. Drive it for a day or two and I can feel the rear brake tight against the drum. Jack the car up and I can't even spin the wheel. And I did release the e-brake.

Any suggestions or comments would be great.

Thanks to all who read this.

shoes still look good. Maybe they are warped?

Check for a pinched or clogged brake line running to the right rear wheel.

My tahoe did that. Ended up that the assembly was not lubricated. Have you lubed yours up? But ao check lines might be clogged or pinched
