I could sure do with a set of brakes like that, Bob.
Mine had sat for some time, probably with a good dose of moisture for good measure. Rust scale had formed on the brake shoes and the linings and had swollen, causing the shoes to lock on. After grinding away the adjusting bolt to release the bottom end of the shoes, the drum was still tight. Leaving the wheel bolted to the hub, I undid the wheel bearing and used a little "persuasion" to get the hub off.
