01 transit rear wheel /brake jammed?

2001swb single wheel ,front drive transit .the passenger side rear wheel has jammed .it has happend 3 times in 3 months and it is after a bumpy uphill drive then jamming when doing a 3 piont turn.no hand brake used so it not that. the previous 2 times i have just drove off back down the hill and after a while it frees but this time it feels worse and dont like to load the clucth too much.the last time was in dry condtions so i dont think rust/dirt it to blame. many thanks for any suggestions.

You'll need to remove the drum etc and try adjusting the shoes 1st. Check the condition of the adjusters and springs when you're in there but sounds like adjustment. You could alsways cheat and adjust up the handbrake cable 2 x 13mm spanners (middle of floor, underneath)

Take it apart and have a look. Might just need a clean.
