Rear self adjusting brakes

My rear brakes keep locking up. I've been told that the easy fix is to just take the self-adjusters off and use manual adjusting. Will this work? DickJ
Do they lock up the first few times you use them and then they are ok? You may have a wheel cylinder or axle seal leaking like @Tooljunkie mentioned in post#7. It doesn't take much of a leak.
