I made a deal for
this old truck that has been sitting outside, on a rental storage lot, for about 10 years. It's a IRWIPI. Far from that now. Wheels are locked up.
I figure it's break shoes rusted to the drums. I guess the best way to address that would be to go out there with the tool box, some liquid wrench, floor jack, jack stands and a brake adjustment tool and work each wheel. Start with trying to loosen the wheel cylinder adjustment and whack around on the drum. I guess you'd have to loosen the drum from the axel or spindle first. Not sure how best the approach this. Any thoughts?
