Brakes are caged but the wheels aren’t spinning. I think the brakes have been caged for so long that they stuck on even being caged.
Now does this shield just pop off, so u call massage the brake drum with a little sledge?
Brake pads stuck!

If the brakes were caged, they weren't ever applied to begin with. Caging holds the brakes released with a special bolt.
-
Is it possible that they cammed over and caging worked to apply a bit of brake pressure?
Unlikely I know, and certainly can't imagine that it occurred on all of them. Just a thought.Diesel Dave Thanks this. -

I just noticed that the cage bolts that were on the brake chamber are longer than the ones used to cage with. Maybe the brake didn’t fully release with the shorter bolts they used

Was it in gear?

There is no engine or transmission, but the shifter is in neutral regardless

You could hold a 2 or 3 foot long metal rod/pipe against the drum behind the dust cover at an angle and give it a good whack with a hammer while listening for a thud or a ping kinda sound. A drum without pads against it rings like a bell compared to one with brakes applied.
