Keep having trouble with the NSR brake drum binding on. I've backed off the thumb adjusters so much that I can't get a handbrake on that side and everything is greased and free and the drum spins freely but still after 15mins of driving the drum is cooking again. Any suggestions? Maybe a fooked master cylinder?
Thanks.
 
Collapsed flexi pipe on that side. They collapse on the inside and act as a one-way valve preventing the fluid from returning. Change both of them and the front ones if they are old. Very cheap and well worth doing.

Changed out the flexi and that's solved the problem! Nice "online" diagnosis BJ1. Thanks again, top bloke!! :D :worship:
