Sounds like the shoes are rusting to the drums. A good coating with oil ought to stop that pesky seizing up problem.

   LOL ;-P
   Its Friday - DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME - or any other place for that matter....

  I have to leave the WurstFalia in 1st gear with the
park brake off and a brick under the wheel. The rear
brakes seize up if I leave the park brake on for more
than a couple of weeks. That turns into a driveway tow
and new brake pads. Ouch.
Is there some magic that would allow me to use the
park brake when I am not driving Wursty every week?
