 Today's problem is a left rear drum that is locking up under braking. I went 
to push the 72 out of the garage (after releasing the e-brake) and found the 
brakes locked up on the left rear side. We got her to finally move by rocking 
her back and forth. Everything seemed to be fine until I stopped quickly on a 
drive. That side locked up. Under slow normal braking it is fine. Suggestions?
