Ok, in case you were wondering, the way to get a froze up frpmt wheel off is to do 2 things: grin Remove the outside ball bearing to get some play in the brake drum/hub, and then remove the bolts that hold not only the brake slave cylinder on there, but the upper pivot bolt where the brake shoes join up above the master cylinder. That allowed the drum and hub to be wiggled off with a couple of pry bars. Once drum was free (I had already loosened the brake line) I could rotate it to remove the brake hose. Wheel spins real good now. (don't forget to remove the brake drum attachment to hub screws too)

The brake star adjuster was one solid hunk o rust so that was broken with a cold chisel, thus allowing the brake shoes to be popped off the drum. The brake shoes showed absolutely square edges so they either were just replaced before parked, or, they never worked! Going to try to get the rig home tomorrow.

The engine has a rebuild plate showing its already .060 over bored, and plugs 1-3 and 5 were ok. 4 is oiled up and 6 is corroded. frown I doubt this motor is going to be workable without oilers on plugs, etc.

So if anyone has a 235 near Dallas Texas they'd like to unload cheap... wink
