Drum Front & Rear: Manual Brakes with Brake Drag

Brake drag with manual drum brakes front and rear could be caused by one or more of the following conditions:

Frozen parking brake cable
Often overlooked, but a parking brake cable that's frozen in the applied position will cause brake drag.

A frozen wheel cylinder piston
If a wheel cylinder piston freezes it could cause the shoes to drag on the drum.

A pre-load pressure on the master
If your pedal linkage binds it may retain a pre load pressure on the master which causes drag.

Incorrectly adjusted drums
Having the drums too tight will cause drag. Check the drum adjustment.
