Default Brakes Drivin Me Crazy

Gday Guys
I have a problem commin from my asse end of my XR6. I have posted a thread before and got some useful info from a member but i didnt follow up on it as i was in the process of moving interstate. It is to do with the handbrake system... I think. the noises that are comin from the rear wheels is killin me... especially at low speeds. Groaning squeeks, constant scraping...Its embarassing. A member before gave me a link to an archive which about shaving the drum and changing some part in the handbrake assembly....I think. If anyone can help me solve this problem would be sensational.

Please help me : im goin crazy
