so i go to move my car today in preperation for its new engine transplant, whole car was seized, a bit of 1st gear / reverse rage, and the passenger side moves fine, drivers side rear drum is stuck solid, pushing it only moves the spring / shocks, and driving it, drags its sorry bottom across the road, f-ing up my tyres

so, quickest, easiest, or best way to sort it, bearing in mind my engine is f-d and i have no power to 7k+ 1st gear it into action

do you have alloys on?
If so metal bar through the spokes and smack the drum as hard as possible!

yeh have alloys, but tbh not sure if a bar will fit through without damaging then, so remove the alloy, and batter the drum with a bar / hammer ... and if that fails?

hit the drum in the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. also if that still doesnt work, bend back the backing plate a bit and heat the rim of the drums with a torch, then hit them some more.....
