Well, got lucky on the left rear. All I had to do to get it to turn was back off the self-adjuster from behind thru the access hole. Thanks for all the help. All I have to do now is find somebody to take this abomination on 6 wheels.

You've never had it happen because you probably never let your rig sit for 20+ years like my 95-year old Dad did. I'm trying to help him out. The rears have been stuck for over 12 years. It looks like the shoes are rusted to the drum. I much prefer using a puller; I spent $50 on eBay for that...

Hi all - I'm a newbie here. I'm trying to get a wheel unstuck on a '72 Travel Queen motorhome which I'm told is on a Dodge D300 chassis. It's drum brakes and there are not just big lug nuts but a huge nut smack in the middle that also appears to secure the wheel. It's over 2" so I don't...
