 When I am braking in reverse, I get a howling noise. There is plenty
 of shoe left. Pretty wierd for what I thought were non-servo rear
 brakes, eh?

 I've never had this problem before, and therefore have never had to
 adjust for it. Are there any tips or caveats that any of you guys have?

 Thanks in advance,

Sam, remove the rear drums and sand the brake shoe surface with some rough
sand paper, it will remove the glaze causing the noise. Also sand the inside
of the drum. If it is still there, then you'll need to replace the shoes. Let
me know how it works out.
