What could cause a handbrake to stick on?

A mate was driving to work this morning and the rear passenger drum kept on sticking on.

Any suggestions?

you need to strip down both sides and clean the adjuster strut...but as you are doing that its a good time to renew the brake shoes anyways and clean up the drum.....loosen off the handbrake cable before removing the drums !and after checking/renewing the system adjust the bake cable last .......

check that the handbrake cable is free to move when disconnected from the drum !...they have a habbit of sticking too and replace if they are
