Try hitting the backing plates with a big hammer. The side shock will
usually get the shoes to pop free.

Subject: My Brakes are Frozen

I need some help from you guys...

My Syncro has been sitting for a few days after a big rain and the rear
brake shoes froze to the drum. I tried braking it loose using granny
and reverse, but no luck. It is REALLY frozen!

Anybody have a solution?

Thanks in advance.
