Michael---I would agree with those who suggested that the rear wheels be
removed, the adjusters backed off a few clicks (counterclockwise as you face
the inside of each wheel), take out the two countersunk screws, then bang
outward on the brake drum(s) with something forceful. To see if your attempt
was sucessful, temporarily replace a wheel to see if this one side will turn.
Good luck with the 12 step program!

Subject: [6pack] TR6 - Frozen rear brakes
I'm in the process of buying a TR6 that has been kept indoors but has
not been moved in over 10 years. The rear brakes appear to be frozen
to the drums. What are the steps and methods to follow to unfreeze
these so I can at least tow it home?
