How to manually release rear drum breaks?
Cars been sitting for 2 days now, still cant get the drum off.
Anyone have a guide that shows me how to release the breaks? Im guessing this is the solution, The rotor is just completely stuck onto the drum.

is the drum loose? I mean can you wiggle it on the axle hub?
If not, soak lugs, center in pb blaster, start nuts on lugs to protect threads, turn drum and whack between lugs to break rust, then back on edge of drum

most vehicles actually have a hole you can access on the backing plate where you can get in there with a screw driver and unadjust the adjuster to bring in the shoes to get the drum off. if its frozen solid on there due to the truck sitting put it on jack stands and give her some gas with a little bit of brakes on and knock all that crap out of there.
if worse come to worse torch it off. ive only had to do that once to a 60s axle that was siting out side for like 20 years
