        You definitely need to pull that cylinder apart and see what it
looks like.
It may just have some dirt in there or it may need a rebuild.

When you take the drum off make sure the brake lining is not coming off the
shoes; this will cause the same symptoms.

Twice I've had my rear driver side brake hang up.  I've  had it apart and
all
mechanical parts and hand brake parts are clean and moving  freely. If I
bleed off some fluid at that wheel, it frees very slightly, but  remains hug
up.
The only way that I can free up the wheel is to  squeeze on the rod of the
brake cylinder.  So, for some reason the cylinder  rod isn't returning.
  There is only one flexible line that feeds both rear brakes  and there is
no problem with the passenger side rear.  I can open the bleed  screw on the

offending wheel and bleed out all the fluid in the system so it  appears
that
the lines are not blocked in any way.
  So, is it just a matter of a cylinder  rebuild?
