        Robert:

        So I gotta ask; What makes this problem so difficult compared to a stuck
clutch? Perhaps the eBrake cables rust, so that the shoes will not release?
The clutch (I would think) has all the same potential hydraulic issues - rusty
slave cylinder, fluid turning into pudding, friction material sticking to
iron, blah, blah, blah.
        Yet the brake problem will seemingly not respond to a couple of nudges 
to
free the shoes (based on the personal stories shared with the list). Inquiring
minds want to know what makes the brakes so much harder than the clutch?

I had to remove the drums after the Dumb current owner left it parked with
the E brake on for a couple of years.....So I ended up replacing the shoes
and cylinders....while I had it apart.... Bob
