pull your drums and wash out all the mud. sounds like you've got a pebble or stone in there that's rubbing against the drum.

ebrake cable goes from the center of the jeep and splits to each wheel.

My e-brake cable was on the driver side and split near the leaf spring mount but I think the 96 and earlier had it in the center.
