I'm in the process of buying a TR6 that has been kept indoors but has not been moved in over 10 years. The rear brakes appear to be frozen to the drums. What are the steps and methods to follow to un

Does your wife know you are bringing another TR6 home? (Honeeeeey! I'm back, and look what followed me home...") I would imagine that the process is similar to unsticking a clutch plate. For the clu

Why not tow it home backwards. We've had this discussion before, and I believe you're not suppose to tow one with the rear wheels turning unless you've disconnected the drive shaft. Anyway, just a qu

If you have the time (an hour ?) why not remove the rear wheels, back off the adjuster and see if you can tap the drums off. Who knows what is going on in there until you look ? Stan I'm in the proce

Vance's ideas are good, but may be overlooking the fact that the car hasn't run for ten years. Mike may have to do quite a few other things to it, just to get the engine to turn over, or to bump the

I agree with Stan. I've moved two TR6s that sat for a long time, and I had to remove the tire, back the adjustor off, and finally tap the drum off to get the rear wheels free. The brake fluid turned

I had to remove the drums after the Dumb current owner left it parked with the E brake on for a couple of years.....So I ended up replacing the shoes and cylinders....while I had it apart.... Bob ___

Michael--I would agree with those who suggested that the rear wheels be removed, the adjusters backed off a few clicks (counterclockwise as you face the inside of each wheel), take out the two counte

So I gotta ask; What makes this problem so difficult compared to a stuck clutch? Perhaps the eBrake cables rust, so that the shoes will not release? The clutch (I would think) has all the same poten

I think the big difference is the handbrake mechanism seizing up with the brake applied. That is another level of stick compared to a clutch plate. Stan Robert: So I gotta ask; What makes this proble

Good question. The wheel was probably free to rotate when parked. Maybe the crystallized brake fluid crud I always seem to find around old rear brake cylinders expanded to lock it up. Maybe the linin
