Locked drum
Hey all, picked up a 73 CJ5 , and can't roll it off trailer due to a locked front drum.
Suggestions to break it loose without breaking the brakes?
I removed hubs, squirted some deep-creep, hammered "gently" with a twenty pound sledge (and a hardwood block) and the drum will now nudge forward and back, in and out...i suppose I could try crank engine and drop the clutch but it hasn't run in decades (60k miles) and its hard to work on stuff up on the trailer.
