my 89 Toyota pick up sat there for a month. i just started it up but it feels like the rear drum are stuck tight and wont let the truck move. any solutions?

 

Parking brake?

 

Mine did that too. The driver side, rear. I took off my drum with a couple bolts that fit into the drum so I could pull the drum off. I beat it with a rubber mallet first. Came off pretty easy after that. then I had to release the brake by turning the wheel that looks like a gear above the shoe. I think its called the brake adjuster. In my case it cooked my drum and cracked my shoe pad. Not too difficult to fix though and I'm a noob.

 

thanks for the reply. yup its the driverside rear. i just got it loose. i banged the drum with an axe, put it into 4wd and gunned it lol

 

yeah, i think the shoes rusted into the drum.
