squealing brakes

Hi, i'm back from Kiev for a while! Haven't posted to this board for a long time.

I got back home, and put my minor through it's MOT, failed only on exhaust straps, so soon had it back on the road.

The rear brakes are squealing though. Takes about 10 mins of driving for them to heat up, and then the sound starts, on all braking pressures. I checked the pads (shoes) on all wheels, and they have plenty left. I cleaned all the dust out, and all seemed fine.

Any ideas?

Cylinders are probably sticking a bit. However - it did pass MOT ! Try running a file over the shoes - beware -may be asbestos dust !!
