Seized hand brake , seized brake drum , seized brake disk.
In this video i successfully managed to un-seize the struck rear brake drum of the vehicle with simple tricks and tools.
If your vehicle has been parked for a long time with the handbrake engaged their is a possibility that your rear brake shoe get jammed with the rear drum or disk , in that case you can try few things by yourself to be able to free up the handbrake shoe and save money.
firstly start your car and release the hand brake/brake pedal now carefully try to move the vehicle forward or backward by doing this it may release the struck brake shoe and free up the parking brake, be careful that your surrounding is clear as your vehicle may suddenly push forward or back as you try to release the brakes.,
if above method doesn't work switch off the engine put your vehicle in first gear and release the hand / foot brake., now come out of a vehicle and try to move the rear of vehicle left and right as shown in the video to try to un-seize the brake shoe, you might be lucky at this stage and hear a small bang which means brake has been released.
If all of the above tricks fail to solve your problem then the most effective way is to jack up the car safely remove the wheel and give a small taps of rubber hammer on brake drum between the studs as shown in the video by doing this you will be able to release the brake shoe you might need to repeat the procedure few time but be patient and it will work in the end.
Once you are able to remove the brake drum its a good idea to clean the brakes and drum with a wire brush and brake cleaner.
