Brake Problems.

This past Saturday, I went for my first ride this year. When I was leaving the driveway, which goes uphill just a little, my right rear brake locked up and then released on its own. Does anyone have any reasons that this would be happening or any positive suggestions ? We have checked the brakes and it isn't getting hot, anymore than the rest of them, after driving around for awhile.
 
I've seen a couple do that and one was mine. It was E-brake lining problems both times. When I bought my 29 Tudor it had one E-brake lining and band missing, and the other side had the lining held on by one rivet.
 
Jamie86 , This would be a good time to check the E brake carrier . There are at least three different carriers . 1 non reinforced 2 reinforced and, 3 reinforced with ears to keep band on carrier . If band slips off it wull lock up brakes . Bubby Sharp in KY
