Hi All: Sad to say all 4 wheels are stuck. I tried opening the hydrolic line on the front hoping this might loosen at least one of the wheels, no luck. Will have to fall back and regroup. Andy == Wor

Very likely the shoes have rusted to the drums. And I would suspect that the clutch is rusted together, too. There is no easy fix. Consider the linings to be toast and use brute force and heat to ge

You might try slacking all the adjusters, then spraying penetrating oil around the backing plates into the drums. More will be wasted than gets in there, but it's worth a try if you consider the bra

It's possible you might get them unstuck without the oil and thus save the shoes. I would remove each wheel in turn, back off the adjusters and apply rotary force with a bar on the wheel-studs (if yo

A slide hammer bolted under one of the wheel lug nuts usually does the trick for me. Several aggressive tugs on the slide weight is usually all it take. Cheers, Lew Palmer It's possible you might get

OK, since some of you think the boiling water idea is BS... Here's a sure-fire way to remove the darn thing! Soak the drums for 10 days in $60 worth of WD40. Loosen any nuts you can reach. Attach lar

Hi All: I would like to thank all of you that weighed in with ideas as how to get my wheels to turn. I did send out a note about a week ago or so but as you all know the system was down. Anyway the m
