Well, I went over to my dad last week to try and move my Morgan, no luck.
The rear drum brakes are frozen.  So now come the question how to get
them unstuck with miminual damage?

I have wire wheels, so I can't put a bar across a couple of the studs and try
standing on the bar.

I did a google search for this, and that was what a lot of people did, and the
other thing was to beat on the drum with a hammer.  I may try that and
hopefully not damage the drums.

I had a couple of friends over and the 3 of us tried to pull the car backwards
and the wheels just slid on the garage concrete floor.

I'm up for any suggestions.

John
