Hi!
I'm about to remove the rear wheels off my TEA, to look at the brakes. Both sides work, but the left side leaks oil, and the right side footbrake mechanism is jammed, and also, lately, when I left it for a week or so, the right hand brake locked up, and took some jumping about with the left wheel spinning to get it free, with a bang!
Any ideas about how to solve any of these problems before I dismantle everything in sight?
Thanks in advance

I have a to30
My left rear was leaking also. I pulled off the tire, removed the brake drum (2 flat head screws, removed the bolts from the back of the brake assembly, and slid the rear axle out. knocked out the seal in the axle trumpet, and replace with a sure seal. reassembled.
Not sure why he other side is locking. maybe the T shaft inbetween the brake pads is going past tolerance. maybe turn the star adjuster to open up, (tighten) the brakes?

You can remove the brake drum with the axle still attached and save yourself the hassle of trying to undo those flat head screws. Just undo the six nuts (the studs may come out with them) on the inside of the axle trumpet's outer flange. Don't lose the brass shims as these set the end float of the axle.
Once you're in there it will become clear how to set the shoes. Remember to undo the locknut (11/16" no doubt, right near the big square brass adjuster nut) before trying to move the star adjuster.

Thanks for all the help
I have now removed the brake drum and the axle, and think I have discovered the remains of an oil seal- is it a rubber ring just inside the axle trumpet, that remains there when the axle is pulled. Also, could the oil leak from there, through the shims and through a bolt to the inside of the brake drum (though not onto the pads) to make the inside all oily, or am I looking at another leak from somewhere in the axle bearing housing?
Thanks!

It is my opinion that the seal just inside the trumpet is the culprit.

To clarify, is the axle trumpet the big metal casting (?) which is bolted onto the diff housing, or is it the thing that houses the bearing of the rear axle

The big metal housing that the axle shafts run inside of and the rear wings fasten too. Cone shaped. or shaped like a trumpet
