[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3191602, member: 15054"] I thought both sides rotated and the issue was the brake drum would not come off. I see said the blind man. Here is an odd scenario. Dirt bike engine sat on it's side for 10+ years in the field. All kinds of things were tried to free the rusted cylinder and piston. Finally a last resort was to submerge the engine in a large pail of water. It soaked for a week in there and took it out and the thing would now turn over. Just water. I wonder if you could fill a bag like a lawn and leaf bag full of water and encase the drum in it and let it soak. As you stated it is hard to get anything in there where the shoes are. I have an old 9" ford rearend that the tires rotted off the rims and has sat for decades but was under a cover .. the drums were stuck to the shoes nice and solid. I have had it sitting outside during 2018 and we got a lot of rain and it is no longer under a cover. The other day I went to move it and the drums are no longer stuck. I drug it 200 yards across a field where my buddy had it and it never budged and Pounded and pounded and pried on it and no luck. Seems the rain on it loosened it all up. [/QUOTE]
