Had to deal with the classic list of rear drum brake issues on my '82 Big Red last night:
- Old brake pad separates from shoe due to water corrosion and seal/gasket failure
- Separated brake pad jams itself between shoe and drum, rear wheels completely locked in place
- Brake arm/cam seized
- Rear brake drum seized onto axle at the splines
Happened while I was unloading, rolling it backwards down the ramp in neutral, both rear wheels suddenly seized up completely to the point where I was unable to roll it forward or backward. Jacked it up, took off the wheel and drum cover, peeked in through the holes on the drum, and it was immediately apparent that something was jammed between the shoe and drum.
