My mgb has squealing brakes. It seems to be coming from the drums. It's fine under light braking, but if I brake with more pressure, this us when they squeal? Anyone got any ideas? Thanks everyone

Could be glazed shoes, or just dust in there.

Pop the drum off, give it a good clean out.
Check everything looks like it's in place and all present and correct
If the surface of the shoes looks shiney, a light rub over with some wet and dry paper to deglaze them.

That should do the trick

Also I'd recommend chamfering the leading edge of each shoe, and also re-assembling using copper grease (sparingly) on the metal parts that move or rub together,such as the ends of the shoes, adjusters, cams etc.
