    Put it in reverse give it plenty of welly as you bring the clutch up, usually frees them quickly though often with a loud clunk.

    Done that many times when drum brakes were stuck on when I worked on breakdown and recovery.:D

    Edit :- Bah, just seen other post in the thread, wish people would not repeat posts.
