SOURCE: How do I remove the rear brake drums on a 1998 Plymouth Voyager ?

Usually you have to tap them off....you can use the brake adjuster and back it off as much as possible. This is a very common problem for ANY make or model.

I believe this has automatic adjusters located on the top. Plugs are located directly below the brake line and parking brake cable will need to be removed from the equalizer

Your E-brake cable needs a to be loosened up and you need to see if the E. Brake is locking up, if the cable is not frayed then you have a problem with a check valve in the master cylinder or in the T where the line goes to the left and right. If you want to know how to check out the hydraulic problem it is more detailed, but first you must make sure that the mechanical part is not binding up.

You have a proportioning valve stuck. From the master the brake lines will run down the wheel well to another valve then out to the front calipers and rears when the prop valve sticks or freezes it then causes the rear or front system to lock up or not proportion the system evenly. 2. If that is not the case you may have contamination in the lines or the rubber brake hoses whick allow fluid to pass through it will not allow it to return almost acting like a back check valve therefore keeping you brakes on.
