1. Turn the adjuster to release the brakes past the lip that they've probably made in the drum

2. Spray some WD-40 around the hub, they are probably rusted.

3. Find a 5lb maul

4. Assert yourself

Tranny fluid has detergents that will break up the crust. Regardless of what you spray on, make sure you thoroughly clean the parts before assembly with brake cleaner.
