Brakes locked

  1. As above any ideas on unlocking them?
    Sorry never experienced this before
     
  2. Do you mean your back brakes have seized on?
     
  3. A tip from Bavaria, having lived there for 15 winters..................do not use the handbrake..............leave it in gear.

    rock the van to n fro..whilst doing this, get someone with a hammer to give the drum a sharp tap.
     
  6. Thanks will try on the weekend when the temperatures pick up as well,failing that may call Mr RAC that's what we've paid for I suppose
     
  7. Go between first and reverse a few times rocking the van back and forth
    If that doesent work a few clouts on the brake drum normally frees them off
