Rear Drum brake problems
I'm having an issue with my rear drum brakes. Everything was replaced new except the e brake cables. The problem I'm having is when I come to a stop, when I go to take off the rear brakes don't seem to release right away. It feels like the rear end is grabbing for a second then everything is fine. If I stop for a quick pause it doesn't happen, it only happens after a stop sign or red light. What should I look for to be the issue?

Have someone actuate and release the brake whole you are viewing the cables underneath the vehicle. The cables run down the center then to the wheels. The vehicle should be in park or in gear with the foot pedal brake applied all of the time. The engine should be off. If you fit, then the vehicle doesn't need to be jacked. You are looking for the issue to be present thru the cabling.
