Loosten the bleeder on that wheel, if that fixes the problem your line to
that cyl is clogged or squished. If no fluid squirts out, loosten the 4
adjusters for that wheel and hit the drum a few times with a 3 pound hammer
to loosten the shoes. They rust to the backing plate. Disassemble and put
copious quantities of never seize on all the bolts and adjusters and edges of
shoes which hit backing plate. Make sure return spring is ok and then
reassemble and adjust loosely using the proper procedure from manual for the
4 adjusters, major and minor. The brakes always are squeakers and are
not much good even when new, but have lasted 50 years.. RAM MVPA#217
