Rear Brake locking up

[rwdeitrick]

I just put New wheel cylinders on my73 cuda and gravity bleed the brakes.now the rear brake locks up when you put on some pressure on the peddle anyone have this problem before

First thought coming to mind is fluid on the shoes. Brake fluid or gear oil will make the shoes grab bad.

Yep, I'm going with leaky axle seal.

Interesting, seems like grease / fluid would make the brakes have less grip?

My rears lock up before the fronts under extreme / panic type stops.

Never thought of checking the rear pads, what's the remedy, hit them with some sandpaper?

you can try that and clean the drums also,,has to be clean of oils

you need to soak the pads with brake clean , if the shoes are badly saturated they will need to be replaced
