Im working on my friends 2800cs. His rear drums are super stuck. Any suggestions on how to free them up? Its not the parking brake. The coupe will not move when in reverse, but it will move slowly forward. We had 3 guys push on it to see if we could move it in reverse (out of gear, of course), and it barely would move.

Remove rubber flex hoses, they may be plugged and holding shoes to drums. Or use your 17mm open end wrench and loosen the adjusting nut on back of backing plate.
