The brakes self energize. That's why it locks up so fast with little pressure on the pedal. I would put new springs on it that has helped all the ones I ever worked on with that problem. Also if there is any endplay on the shaft that will add to your problem.
Drum brakes on cars and trucks will do the same thing if springs are broke or weak. Springs are the only thing keeping it from going too far and locking up.
