    Yeah it may take awhile if they're stuck hard we spent 20 minutes yesterday before ours finally let go. Or the student did anyway hehehe I just supervised. Good training you know lol he won't learn if I just show him he's gotta get under there and do it.

    We picked up a trailer with frozen brakes yesterday. After about an hour of knocking drums and pumping brakes they finally release. I'm ready for summer.

    Pour rubbing alcohol down your red brake line. Seriously.

    I got unstuck. Got on road and brake locked up again. Got whole 3 miles so at ta now. At least I am in line for shop. Brake issue was not with trailer its on tractor. Pouring alcohol in trailer lines not help me. Thanks for advice.

    A lot of people don't understand, drive when things are wet - park, set brakes - temp drops = brake shoes frozen to drums. Carry a big hammer
