Rear brakes sticking

I recently replaced rear brakes on my 2000 4x4 ranger now the right rear shoes are sticking and over heating what did I miss?

Welcome to the forum

Did you do one wheel at a time?
The star wheel adjuster has a Left and Right model, if reversed one wheel will tighten up too tight and the other loosen up

Did you replace the slaves?
older one may be sticking now that it has been recompressed

The upper springs pull the slaves closed after brake pedal is released, maybe one came off

Engine on
Pump brakes a few times
Loosen bleeder on right rear, if you get a squirt of brake fluid then pressure is not being released at that slave, brake fluid should come out, but just gravity bleed no squirt
