[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3191391, member: 29706"] So the adjuster on that drum is not in a position to be able to move it to bake the shoes off. Don't forget to loosen the parking brake cable and hose it down with lube. If it is seized as well there is no way the shoe will let it spin even if the parking brake is off. May also want to remove the brake line as that could be a problem, the old rubber hoses can sometimes act as a one way valve and if you put pressure on it will not release. The only thing other thing I can say is get the torch working and hopefully don't kill a seal or hook a chain up to a truck and give it a pull and see if that will break it free. Sadly when they get to the point where they are seized up more than likely something is going to break unless you are going to let it sit for a good long while and soak. If after all that you can't get it free see what the cost of a new drum is and break it apart with a sledge. [/QUOTE]
