That's really helpful!

Firstly the front edge of the shoe is angled, so that seems fine, one side (not pulling) is glazed, so I sanded off). The cylinders (ordered replacements) all have a little liquid but all move freely.

The shoes look ok - if anyone can advise on replacements, I can't find them at all, but have enough "meat" for now. Any help he greatly appreciated.

Back all bleeds fine, I don't think an air bubble as I've bled a lot.

The cylinders were wet with fluid a bit, I took the caps off and cleaned up a bit, just looked like a small weep, dirty fluid, not fresh.

The grab started when I bled them and then installed day after a new master. I ordered another master as I suspect this one is not right, but dont think that would impact left brake only.

Wheel locks up at light touch if adjusters turned CW, so definitely grabbing and holding. Inside of drum looks fine to me, cleaned that too, no contamination.

Springs are strong, adjusters work fine.

I did notice the shoes dont seem to sit right left and right, one side sticks out, but given working fine when I bought, and shoes I think are correct, only started later. At first when I got it a 100 miles ago the right slightly pulled, now shifted left after bleeding the dirty fluid out. Front brakes lines made no difference at all. When I turned adjusters it made it worse, maybe alignment of pad.
