I cant tell that this is a big problem, i was driving along one day and i needed to brake really fast. When i was breaking, the front right wheel completely locked. Now it locks anytime that i break. What do i do?

remove the dust cap and hold the inner axle nut with a wrench while you turn the outer one, then the inner one. Pull off the brake drum and see how everything looks. A leaking wheel cylinder can cause drum brakes to lock.
