rear brake drum adjustment clearence drag ? problem ? 74 valiant

All the ones I've had do this over the years held pressure long enough that you have time to actually get out and do it yourself. They should release immediately so any residual pressure is a sign of a problem.

ok thanks , i pumped the brakes a bit then held them down , then quickly ran back there and they were released . i will try again later , when my helper gets here , to be sure .
