I already tried cussing. It didn't work
When I towed my '70 F100 home several months ago I parked it outdoors. Work done on it so far has been accomplished outside. Last week I decided it was time to move it onto a concrete floor to try to put the Cadillac engine in it. I hooked my S10 onto it to pull it out of its resting place and the S10 could barely move it. I got out to look and saw that the right rear wheel was locked up and dragging.
Somebody, and I ain't saying who, had parked it with the emergency brake set. The drum and the brake mechanism have welded themselves together. I mean, really STUCK.
What do I do now, Coach? Would heat help? I would have tried that already but my acetylene bottle is empty and I'm kind of bucks-down right now. Is there a trick of the trade that might free it up before I break something?
Probably not many people are as dumb as I am, but does anybody know someone who has created this problem for himself?
Advice (free advice, that is) would be appreciated.
