Hi folks. Noticed a rubbing sound coming from the brake drum on my HRV. Popped the wheel and drum off but looked okay. No leaks or popped off springs. Then it went dark. Put the drum back on but it's still rubbing. Not when you are driving just when you apply the brakes. Any thoughts?

If you are only getting a noise when braking then first thing is to give the drum, shoes, springs and backplate a good clean with brake cleaner.

sounds like the wheel cylinder is sticking.
do as taurus says first but if that don't work then you will have to strip/clean or replace the cylinder.
i assume its only sticking on one side

What brand of pads do you have (IME this does not make a big difference on drums) and was there evidence of rubbing on the inside of the drum, a shiny surface for instance?

Stripped it down and checked it all. Drum not scored. Seems fine now so will see how we go on.
