Need help! 78 Brat rear passenger wheel stuck wont spin..

Featured Replies

Well got the brat back but recently came to an issue. The passenger rear wheel was showing signs of sticking like when you first moved it and then rubbing stutter on occaision when driving. Know it wont spin at all and is completely stuck. What will cause this. Car did sit for a few yeas before I got it back. Is it the brake shoes and hardware that might have stuck or something worse?? Anything simple I can do to try and loosen it or should I leave it up to a mechanic.. PS I'm not very mechanical inclined...any advice will hopefully help..

Yeah Tommy , any old cars that sit , especially over dirt will cause the brake shoes to rust onto the drums. And even caliper/disk brakes , but especially our rear drums on our old cars.

 

Heat , sledge hammer , stuff like that. Spray your best anti rust agent on there wherever you can but most likely you're going to need heat and-or the sledge.

 

You might get lucky if the vehicle runs and the kill your clutch trying to break it free with first gear.

 

You'll get it. You just have to suffer some , like many of us have.

Cheers !
