Drum brake seized... Please help!

Twisted71,

In the past I have had to insert a long thin screwdriver and push the automatic adjuster back, then back the adjusting wheel off. If you have it too tight it will be hard to back off at first.

I have also had to pull the brake shoe anchor pins backward and cut off the heads when I couldn't get the drum off in any other way. Then pry it all off by using a prybar on each side of the drum.
