It is only making the when the emergency brake handle is in the off position. I made an appointment with the shop now that I know what it is that needs to be fixed. Thanks for all your help.

I'm glad I thought of that and that you followed up.

I think its a broken return spring. If it is, the shoe will fall out and contact the drum.
