Stuck drums happen regularly on cars and is one of those real curssed type things! When it does, the word easy is not one that comes quickly to mind in relation to it. Frequently by the time your done, other words will. Make sure you back off the adjusting star all the way - even releasing hydraulic bleeder can help. Bang, bang, bang. Liquid Wrench (especially if the studs are through the drum). Various pullers (there are some common ones that can fit many wheels). This is not a time for restraint...fact is drums are cheap and may not be able to be turned (warped, worn, rusted, etc) anyway.
To remove a stuck brake drum you will need to use a brake drum puller to get it off. Many auto parts stores have a loaner tool program where you pay a deposit for the tool and get your deposit back when you return it.
Remove your front axles.
1. Remove the brake hose to caliper bolt from the brake caliper. 2. Remove the brake hose from the brake caliper. 3. Remove and discard the 2 copper brake hose gaskets. These gaskets may be stuck to the brake caliper and/or the brake hose end. 4. Cap or plug the opening in the brake caliper and the brake hose to prevent fluid loss and contamination. 5. Remove the 2 brake caliper pin bolts. Remove the park brake cable from the caliper. 6. Remove the brake caliper from the brake caliper bracket.
stuck parking brake cable, over extended wheel cylinder, or your brake springs broke. check the back of the drum and wheel for fluid(black and wet)wich would be a wheel cylinder. if it occured after using the emergency brake then it is probably the cable otherwise you will have to remove the tire and inspect the brakes
Air tools and PB Blaster.
Either the caliper piston is frozen stuck or the hydraulic brake hose has collapsed internally. Open the bleeder on that caliper and see if the pressure releases, if it does you have a bad brake hose.
It is the slot up top, just below the brake line.
If the parking brake pedal on your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 is stuck to the floor, you might have broken the parking brake cable. Remove the rear tires to see if the cable is still attached and replace it as needed.
Remove shifter from the top and try to align shift pegs
stuck? how is it stuck? if you have removed all (4) bolts then it should slide off.. if not push hard on the caliber to depress the cylinder making it easier to slide off
I'm thinking about what you said, and I release probably you don't have emergency brake on, it could be something broken on the rear brake hardware, So you have to pull your tires off and check the brake springs and check emergency brake cables under the truck,
A stuck parking brake could be caused by several things. The brake cable that operates that brake could be stuck, or the mechanism could be stuck at the wheel. The wheel will need to be removed and the cable and emergency brake arms will have to be checked.
