When you say stick, do you mean they lock/stay applied after you let go of the brake pedal? In my TE it was the diff seals leaking diff fluid into the drums, making the shoes stick. Could be worth checking...cheers

i didnt get new shoes fitted at the time, when brakes applied they will work, but then they will grab and pull up too quick. would it be worth getting new shoes, and then getting the drums machined?
