wheels locked up...

88 turbo · 03-04-2011, 11:57 PM

surprisingly enough the brakes came right off. the only thing that was at all stuck were the bolts holding them on. cleaned it all up and left the brakes off(zip tied em as to keep weight of the line) and tried to turn it by hand with no luck(was in neutral). so i threw a wheel on to see if a lil extra leverage would help. Yet my problem still exists... the wheels wont turn.. looks like i'm getting in and getting dirty but at the moment still running ideas and possibilities through my head and others and am still interested in your ideas so keep em coming thank you.

When you say " the brakes came right off", are you also referring to the disc has been removed ?

Don’t forget you still have a set of brake shoes inside the rear brake disc/drum which could be locked up..

The shoes also have a bad tendency to dig into the drum over time creating a lip you have to get the shoes over to slide the drum off. Loosen the shoes as much as possible if this happens... and it's still going to be hell.
