I noticed (when my starter went bad) that my driver's side rear wheel was dragging (couldn't push the bronco)

No wonder the wheel didnt want to turn.
That's just a simple replacement of the shoes. No problem.
Now, here is what was under the passenger drum:
That's not brake fluid. I'm pretty sure it's axel grease/fluid/oil/whatever
