I just had another thought.  A defective rear brake hose can also give
you the same symptoms, as it can act as a one way valve keeping pressure
on the rear shoes, which will overheat and glaze.

Hi all:

what in the world is causing a rear break squeal at low speed's on my
"B"?,
this is what I have done, about two months ago I replaced the wheel
cylinders
(new, not rebuild) and put new brake shoes on, drums looked to be o.k.,
I
adjusted the brakes after about two weeks of driving, may need to be
adjusted
again, emergency brake is not as tight as I would like it.
No squealing for the first month and a half or so, but now I'm getting
that
annoying squeal.  Any ideas toward a fix will as usual be greatly
appreciated.
