If trailer brakes are locked up it is probably because they have not been used in some time or need servicing. Sometimes rapping on the back of the brake assembly LIGHTLY may release them but it would be better to remove the wheels and brake drums and service them.

What is the towing capacity of a Volvo 740 wagon?

The towing capacity should be the same as the sedan i belive. With no brakes on trailer 2000lbs max & 3300lbs with brakes on trailer with standard tranny. But with automatic 3500lbs max with brakes on trailer. But thats all i know. I just would not tow more than 2600lbs behind my car with brakes on trailer. But dont let the place hack your car up putting a tranny cooler on. It will just damage your tranny more. Just take it easy dont floor it while towing & keep it out of overdrive. Dont drive at speeds above 100km.
