[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3191377, member: 40864"] I presume you checked/released the emergency brake... :D Use a spray (like Liquid Wrench), and spray it into the adjustment hole, pointing it all around as much as possible. Then do the same around the edge of the drum (hopefully some will splatter to the inside). Whacking it really hard with a sledge probably won't help any more than normal licks with the flat side of a ball-peen, and will be more likely to damage the drum. You can also drill a few small holes around the backing plate (1/16" or 1/8"), and spray penetrating oil through those. They can be welded up later. Just a few thoughts. :drunk2: [/QUOTE]
