| the rear drums reguarly bind, which is one of the reasons people do rear disc conversions, as you pull away, the tyres should grip, and the brakes should become unseised | |

| his cables are broken so he won't be able to tug on it. I'd suggest hitting the drum with a hammer till they ping free. if you can see the drum through the wheel then you won't need to take the wheel off, just find a long piece of metal and poke it through the wheel then hit that. it'll need to be a good sturdy piece though to transfer the knock well. | |
