Right rear grabbing. Replaced pads, shoes, hardware(rear), front lines (hoses), combination valve (used), switched left and right drumbs and bled air from system, I have a good peddle but problem continues. Any suggestions?

Hi:
If the axle seal or wheel cylender is leaking, that could cause the problem. If not, I recommend having the glaze cut from the drums. Have the shop take as little as possible to save the drum. Also, before reinstalling them, sand the brake shoes with sand paper to take off any glaze that has occurred on them from the drums. Let me know if it helps.

Also, I am assuming that the park brake is not over adjusted.

Thanks Joe.I had glaze removed from the drums and went over complete system again(parking brake, new shoes and wheel cylinders). The brakes are working great now and I am sure the glaze was my main problem all along.
