BTW, if you have oil contamination in your rear brake shoes, they are /less/ likely to grab, because the oil acts as, well, a lubricant.
One idea is that perhaps the rear brakes aren't adjusted properly. Make sure to adjust the star wheel out as far as you can(pumping the brakes a couple times to even stuff up), then back in until it stops dragging. I've been told that you can get grabby brakes if they aren't adjusted properly.
You'd think that, and I'm sure that at first they slide better, but I've had my shoes oil contaminated 4-5 times over the years with axle lube or brake fluid and can say for sure that 3 of the times caused a wheel to lock up easily. The other two I must have caught before I noticed poor braking either way.
Yep the rears are adjusted properly. E brake cables return correctly as well and are not dragging.
