I noticed my rear brakes squeaking pretty bad. Who knows how long the PO serviced them so I went ahead and replaced the drum, brake shoes (riveted) and all the springs/hardware. The brakes are off a 1980ish International scout 2. The left rear brake is good, no problems at all. Now the passenger rear will get hot and start squeaking bad! if I take a water bottle and spray both drums the right one sizzles. I tried loosing the brake shoes some but no change. My next guess is to change the wheel drum cylinder. I'm thinking maybe its sticking open? what do you guys think?
 
Make sure the star wheel brake adjuster is correctly installed........
