Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Im trying to get my brakes sorted for the rta.
I got a brake test that checks the braking force on each wheel and the passenger rear only had about 18%.
I took the brake cylinder out and 1 side was siezed so I cleaned it up and put some brake lube on it but they still arnt any better. The piston that was seized still dosnt move unless I hold the other brake shoe still.
It dosnt look like there is any brake fluid leaking past the cylinder seals and they are properly bled.
I have a prop valve for the rear line just after the m/c then the single line splits into 2 at the t piece at the diff.
Could it be possible that the magority of the brake fliud is going to the nearest side?

have you checked the line is not blocked?
some thing may have jammed its self in there or if it was left open mud wasps love those things

I had another good look at it.
I rebled the rear brakes (both sides) adjusted the shoes out as far as I could before putting the drums back on and it was the same.
There is a small kink in the hard line going to the passenger side but it still bleeds easily.
I jacked up the driver side for a comparison and im positve it locked hard and I couldnt turn the wheel by hand.
So we swapped the drums side to side to see if maybe the kink in the line was causing it or the drum was too worn.
Now both sides can be turned by hand with the brakes on.
Also I opened the brake prop valve completely to eliminate it but its still the same.
