Rear breaks stuck?
All right finally back to the boards and with a really dumb question! Ahh how I love keeping with tradition!:rockon:
Anyway here's the story.
Comming home last night noticed no problems. Got in the drive way got out then decided to pull out some stuff from the passanger seat and heard a really loud metal thud! Scared the crap outta me
I thought that the springs had snapped or something! Well today, doing some running around, I could feel the driver side rear drum stick after I came to a complete stop. It would hold it tight too! I could let off the breaks and it wouldn't inch forward! Hell the damn thing wouldn't unstick untill the car started rolling again and it's the same noise i heard the night before but muffled by the sound of the 305 pounding back a few gallons of Texico CleanSystem3 Premium, love that sound.. wallet don't 
Anything that I can do to solve this quickly?

SOUNDS LIKE THE BACKING PLATE IS WORN AND NOT ALLOWING THE BRAKE SHOE TO RELEASE.
MINE WOULD CHATTER WHEN I STARTED MOVING. VERY SCARRY.
I FOUND MY BRAKE SHOES HAD A SHARP EDGE WHICH WOULD CATCH ON THE BACKING PLATE. I GOUND DOWN THE SHARP EDGE AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING ALRIGHT.
A FRIEND SUGGESTED BRAZING THE WORN AREA AND FILING SMOOTH.
LOT OF LUCK
