Assure there is free play at the pedal. Rusted/corroded wheel cylinder
piston. Shoes not centered in drum. Shoes not parallel to drum surface
(canted). rear flex line collapsing internally and not releasing
pressure, E-brake adjustment, all sorts of reasons..

<p class="MsoNormal">You can try backing off the adjustment
which is done by
turning  (loosening) the square headed fitting opposite the
wheel cylinder
on the back side of the backing plate .Itâ??s a quarter inch
square and you can
cobble together some quarter inch drive sockets to fit the
adjustment screw. If
that doesnâ??t work try grinding the heads off of the pins that
hold the shoes
tight against the backing plate. They look like the head of a
nail and are at
90 degrees from the wheel cylinder. What youâ??re tring to do is
release the
shoes from the drum thus allowing the drums to pull
off.<o:p></o:p></p>
