You need to pull the wheel and the brake drum to inspect things. There are any number of things that could be wrong there.

wrench tech, Ok pulled brake drum, brake adjuster broke inside, gouged brake shoes, shoes worn to studs on opposite at the top.Mounds of residue and dust. Replaced evrything and bled. Drove for a half hour no noise no clanking . Then thumping on and off! Not when accellerating.Took two people with me two different times stated thumping sound on the right side maybe the middle. No thumbing in reverse at speed.Seems more prevelant after braking.Clanking is not present any more.
