Video tutorial on the 3 different ways on how a drum brake assembly can stick on. Having the drum brake assembly stick on can mean either the vehicle won’t move or it will create an excessive amount of heat damaging multiple components in the process. You may also see poor acceleration, poor braking performance, the vehicle pulls to one side, or an increase in fuel consumption.

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-standard screwdriver
-wheel wrench
-jack
-axle stands
-any required replacement parts
Procedure:
The wheel cylinder can become seized:
-over time these may becoming rusty or filled with dirt which is usually a result from failing boots
-wheel cylinder has both a front and rear piston, therefore two in total
-either one or both pistons can become seized
-to determine if the wheel cylinder faulty, you should be able to push the pads inward from one side to the other if the pistons aren’t bottomed out
-if not, then have a second person, being extremely careful, lightly depress the brake pedal
-do not got too far as you do risk pushing the piston out completely
-in order to remove the drum, the automatic adjust can be backed off through the small hole in the backing plate
-if that fails, then you may need to cut the hold down spring pins on the backing plate or remove the wheel cylinder completely
-as for repairing the issue, you can rebuild the wheel cylinder yourself, have someone rebuild the unit for you, or purchase a new replacement
A stuck emergency brake:
-other emergency brake cables can become filled with dirt or rust which will prevent them returning to their freed position
-this can happen to both vehicle which never have the emergency brake used or ones which are used all the time
-normally if they are used, this does reduce the risk of them sticking
-this can happen to one side of both sides of a vehicle
-if you recently applied the emergency brake, then this could possibly be the culprit
-if not, then the issue does not relating to the emergency brake assembly
-if you try to apply the emergency brake, depending on the assemblies design or if there is an issue with both cables, you won’t feel tension on the lever
-another reason for not feeling tension on the lever is if the emergency brake is in need of adjustment
-to repair or assist in the repair, sometimes you can reverse the vehicle which will push the shoes back
-but this only works in a mild situation
-other times the cable can be giggled to reduce the tension or back the automatic adjuster off
-as a final solution, cut the emergency brake cable directly behind the drum brake assembly
-considering the cable or cables are faulty, they will need to be replaced regardless
-even if you did manage to get the cable to return, the issue will return again
The final issue can be caused by rusted brake shoes:
-this normally happens if a vehicle can been sitting for a longer period of time and will also depend on the composition of the shoe braking material
-this won’t cause drag on the drum, but rather the drum to stick on completely and the vehicle will not move or at least the wheel won’t
-in a mild situation you should be able to drive the vehicle in reverse which will break the shoes free
-driving forward will most likely not work as the drum brake assembly is self energizing and will only push more against the braking surface rather than just allowing the drum to rotate
-in a severe situation, you will need to disassemble the drum brake assembly backing the automatic adjuster off, then either using a puller or cutting the hold down pins
-then replace any parts as needed

┃666┃Satanism & 808′s
┃666┃Born from the ashes of the Ancient Ruins,
Luciferian Satanism assumes,
The Shape of Godhood within the Tomb,
Resurrected in the Temple of Doom,
The Moon in my Left Eye looks at Love,
Then Moves to my forehead and cry’s tears of,
Blood, A king of the Jungle wit my paw in the Mud,
The Young Prince of Hell is who I have become,
I grip my silver sigil of Satan,
And look above to the stars I Am a Pagan,
*The Gods are with me,
Legions of Demons have chosen me,
To be the General of Hell’s colossal Army,
A child shall lead them and travel far,
And they will call him the Fallen Star,
The Fallen one from the Heavens of Hell,
Who holds the Elixir of Eternal Youth,
And all knowing Wisdom of infallible Truth,
The Son of Odin on the highest mountain,
The land illuminates underneath my feet,
I drink Eternal Youth from the fountain,
The Boy is a Demigod-hood complete,
Lightning bolts rip through my flesh,
I have the egg from the eagles nest,
In the floating mountains of the World that comes next,
The hieroglyphic text of the Gods,
Is written on the Soles of the boy who denies the Law of physics,
A garage of Lyrics,
Extra dimensional graphics cause,
The Star Child who is the living mirage,
Of the mortal human being whom he once was,
The Gods of Hell are my entourage,
And Hell is a portal into a realm of peace,
Into a land of war, Into a place underneath,
The moon and the stars, the Rain in the east,
Even the West where the Eye of the Storm is the Eye of Odin,
The Eye of Horus and the all seeing Eye of Lucifer,
Above the highest mountain,
Deep in the Forest of Beelzebub,
Where the statues bleed fresh blood,
Those are the gargoyles who are reborn,
In the night when the moon evolves,
Into Capricorn,
My Music plays in the Halls of Valhalla,
My Poetry impresses the Gods,
The Ravens of Odin have spoken my name,
f0StaR Ch!1d The Son of Satan reigns,
Loki deceives my Enemy,
Of whom I have already slain,
And have taken their Soul in my Rebirth,
Upon the Thief I have placed a Curse,
Thor’s hammer pounds against the Earth,
The Stars fall from Heaven to expose the Worthless Xian God,
My fist is made of steel,
My hand chakras heal,
My feet chakras feel the dirt of the forest floor,
From the Gods long hair,
To the Soles of his bare feet,
The boy is Worshipped in his Sleep,
By the Gods with Adoration,
The Biological Son of Satan,
The God of Israel has been overtaken,
I Blaspheme the Nazarene and crown myself as the Devils King,
A King who is too young for Eternity,
I will bring the Armies of Hell with me,
And the World will know that I Am Not broken,
The Son of Satan Lucifer Odin,
The Gods are glorified,
By the Prosperity of Kings,
The Living Son of the Devil,
Spreads his Wings as a Rebel,
