Morning all,

Just got my E30 back in one piece and seem to have a re occurring problem with the rear passenger side drum brake sticking on.

I put new shoes in a couple of years ago (barely done 1k miles) to try and resolve this issue but low and behold here it is again!

Advice on solving this?

Only needs to be a temporary solution as i have a set of rear trailing arms with discs instead of drums

Thanks for any advice!
