Rear brakes on Hyundai Getz

bmaxi

I have a Hyundai Getz 1.1 2005 and recently noticed a rubbing sound from the rear of the car. I isolated this to the left rear wheel and took off the wheel and spun the hub by hand. Right enough there is a grab at the drum suggesting that one of the shoes is rubbing but if I tap the drum a few times it frees up, however once I apply the handbrake and I presume the foot brake, it locks again. I took off the drum and cleaned out whatever dust was in there and sprayed some WD 40 into the adjusters but still the same. Nothing seems to be out of place, all springs etc. are attached and in good condition. Any suggestions, is this likely to be a cylinder problem?

Could be a wheel bearing that on the way out.

Could do without that, I didn't notice any play in the wheel. Is that a whole hub job?

On second thoughts, I don't think it would be. A rubbing sound? Are the pads fairly worn? Is the cable in good condition, sounds like something is not releasing itself after been pressed/used..

There's plenty of lining left on the shoes, I'll check the cable tomorrow. I remember having a wheel bearing go on a Fiat once and the wheel was very sloppy and made an awful racket.
