as you drive about 5 miles or so the brakes start to have pressure on them dragging against the motor. if you stop and wait the brakes will bleed off and you can go again or you can open a bleeder valve and drive a little futher? it appears to apply pressure mainly to the front brakes but you bleed it at the block going to the rear shoes

Hi there,

Check that you have some pedal free play, this is very important, if that is ok, you may have deteriorating (internal linings collapsing) front brake hoses that are closing foo and holding some residual pressure, check these first.
