There is an adjuster on the back of each braked wheel, if you back this off it will give the chance for the shoes to come away from the drum, then either hit the drum with a rubber mallet or tow the box forward and backward to release them. If I remember rightly it's just a case of unscrewing a screw and taking off the drum to get at the gubbins inside.
Always recommended to chock the wheels and leave traliers without the brake on. _________________ JDW

Horse trailors are a pain in the Ar%$£ if not used regualy. Lady driver is right with the adjusters. Back them off and tap drum with mallet.
I never use the park brake for that reason. Can't go far with a wheel clamp on!!!. We even go th the lenghths of moving it at least monthly to keep the wheels free.(even if its just rocking it backwards and forwards a foot or so) The brakes "hang on" because the inside of the drum rusts slightly and nips the shoes. _________________ Never let a meal go by----Empty sacks dont stand up!!! |

Yeah, It will just be the lininings rusted to the drums. Try tapping with a mallet (copper one is best) on all 4 drums. Then hook up and try rocking back and forth. I have found over the years that it dosent matter what you do to your brakes, if the trailor stands for more than a few weeks they will stick on. _________________ Never let a meal go by----Empty sacks dont stand up!!! |
