   Drum Brakes locking up on a 86 PU/Hilux

   I have an 86 Toyota 1/2 Ton PU/HiLux. The strangest thing is happening.  I   
   had a brake cylinder leak in the Left Rear wheel.  After replacing the brake   
   cylinder, cleaned out the brake fluid residue, and bleeding the brakes, it   
   will lock up after a full stop going forward.  To get out of the full lock   
   up, I have to step on the gas to break the lock up and it will make a   
   humming squeal before going forward.  It is fine in Reverse after a full   
   stop but not forward. The brake shoes and drum seem to be ok, and all the   
   other parts in the brake assembly are seem ok.  The parking brake cable   
   seems to be working properly.  I've disassembled the brake assembly a few   
   times and greased the joints, to no avail.   
      
   I've only seen this happen when the parking brake cable broke on Toyota   
   Corolla.  The temporary remedy was to engage and release parking brake to   
   release the lock, then it can go forward.  After replacing the parking brake   
   cable it was fine.   
      
   Anyone have any ideas?
