Drum brakes acting up on AT200 Options

[SwissFerdi]

I searched for a thread on this but couldn't find one. As long as I've owned the car (2.5 years), the rear drum brakes have squeaked under moderate braking, say when slowing down for a stop sign. This is extremely annoying, and I've been meaning to oil/lube to get rid of this (or replace the shoes, whatever's necessary). This past week, I've noticed a shimmy and squeak when I first move the car for the day. For literally only fifty feet from my driveway, there's a squeak (I haven't been able to isolate which side it's coming from) and I can feel that the brake is somehow sticking because the car "shimmies," and I can feel a slight hesitation and resistance of movement. After fifty feet, it apparently releases and the sound goes away. So, is this a matter of some type of small brake seizure from the car sitting overnight? I park on a driveway with a very slight grade but don't use the e-brake, I just let the transmission lock up in P.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance guys.

Getting them off may be a little hard. When I got my drums replaced I watched the guy pound and pound, lube up, pound pound pound, heat up, pound pound pound. Nothing. The damn thing came off in pieces. Good Thing I was getting new ones anyway..
