I have no idea why, but when I put it in reverse it soon locks up.  What is it?
I took them apart on both sides and all is great other than the drums are 20 thou oversized already and having deep ridges both sides.

The drums are so worn and the shoes so worn, that the space between the two allows the shoe to wedge itself and stop wheel travel.

You asked!
