[QUOTE="bluebay, post: 572753, member: 4429"] Had a very similar problem on my rear drums,after fitting new rear shoes they would bind after a couple of miles and get too hot to touch,if I cracked the bleed nipple they would free off. Did all the checks you have including fitting new master cylinder,brake cylinders,re piped brake line to rear plus new braided flexi hoses,still had problem.Finally I got the grinder out and took a couple of mm off of the new shoes just on the face which pushes onto the pistons.so it appears when I set the brakes by adjusting the star wheels I could not of had enough clearance.Not had a problem since.That was a couple of years ago.Took me about a month of changing things and then trying it to get to that point though.
