It could be a bad wheel cylinder or the rubber line going from the metal line to the wheel is collapsed inside.


Take the drum off and have a look for broken parts as well.

Yeah like hydra said if one of those rubber lines get's pinched internally it acts like a 1 way check valve for brake fluid.

I would attack the hose first.
