Tricycle

Well I looked for a trike section with no luck and I nearly went in the over 50 section.
Much to my surprise I decided to buy a build it yourself trike. It is called Merax. I have never really considered a tricycle but.............
Now I have built it I love it.
In white the build went very well but then my partner said she wanted one after riding it. That came as a shock as she absolutely refused to ride a bike I bought her a few years ago. So I let her have it and I bought another (not in that order).
The second build was not so trouble free, some issues came up which I overcame.
Trouble is I have no real experience of the drum brake on the back. I have to say I do not like the fact it works on only one rear wheel but that is neither here nor there.
Here is what I am coming to; I am sure the drum somehow needs attention but have no idea where to start. The problem is a loud graunching noise when I apply the rear brake. The brake on the first trike works fine.
Can anyone help please because the booklet it came with is a bit sparse.
