The next step is to take a BREAK from driving it and dig into the BRAKES again. To continue driving it like it is will certainly lead to a serious problem. It sounds like the brake actuator is gummed up and not allowing the balls to return to the low spot in the egg shaped hollow on each side of the actuators thus keeping your brakes activated. Remove the brake housing covers and pull out the actuators. There will be two very stout and short springs holding the two halves of the actuators together. The balls are inside of these halves. If the balls are not shiny and smooth you should replace them. Make sure you clean the gunk out of the egg shaped hollows on the insides of the actuator halves. When you reinstall the balls, lightly lubricate them with lithium grease. Also make sure the brake discs are not soaked with lube oil/hytran and if they are check the brake shaft seals for need of replacement. If the discs are soaked with lube replace them as well. Also check the surfaces of the inner brake drum (Bearing retianer) and the outer brake housing for rust, cracks, etc.
