ive been searching for last two days on forums and google havent found my problem. so i have a 96 honda civic i just bought and after driving in town i noticed that the right rear was really hot so i manually adjusted it but it still drags. mainly after setting the e brake it would lock up until i broke it free now when i set the e brake i can tell the left rear is locked up and the right is mainly free but still can feel the drag. at first i thought it was master cylinder because my foot went to the floor a couple times but now it doesnt go to the floor anymore so now im thinking its either something with e brake linkage in the drum is sticking or the wheel cylinder i have to drive about a hour to my job just dont want it to catch fire from the drag. (the drag pre adjusting the drum would make it hard to get it to move from a stop now just a slight drag just want to get it fixed )

 

I have read a few months ago of a topic similar to yours. E-brake cable was stuck.
