There may be a simpler solution................
Check that you haven't got a brake shoe return spring problem, either a broken spring hook or worse a broken hoof securing lug o one of the aluminium brake shoes.
I had exactly the same symptoms on my RP, and it was the resultant brake shoe dragging on the drum that was the cause.
Good luck with your investigations........Often there is a simple solution to what you might imagine to be more serious!
