It’s summer time and my trailer tires suddenly “froze locked”

You should carry a flashlight, a pen, notepaper, rain coat because you will need them.

 

FWIW, you DID try using a hammer, even though it wasn't anywhere near freezing....

 

The best thing I ever added to my repertoire is 5lb sledge hammer. Unreal how much use its had

 

OK......did you also try to unfreeze it with a propane torch?????

 

Have you read the thread? It wasn't frozen as in cold frozen. They were stuck.

 

The only time I've had stuck brakes. And I've had a few.

The brakes were cammed over. Meaning at the top of the cam lobe.

If you adjust them you can get past the lobe and be at the beginning of the adjustment. If you can get the adjuster to move.

Course. The brakes will sitting an inch away from the drum but you won't be locked up.

 

Good catch, and thank you for sharing the fix with us.
