how to free up a drum brake
steve, November 2010
on a bike try forcing the wheel to turn and use a leather or rubber mallet and shock hit the side of the drum, try not to damage it and try not to buckle the wheel if its spoked

on a car just keep hitting the drum with a mallet and it will free, make sure you have loosened the tensioner if possible and dont forget to turn off the hand brake

Depening on the type of vehicle your working on as there are so many different types. What sort of vehicle is it? What type of braking system. MRW
