big hammer and twat the outside of the drum (not too hard like but dont tickle them) also handbrake on and off to see if it frees them, if not its strip down time unfortunately

drop the handbrake off and just try pullin away, my mams rear drums on her cav always do that after cupla days, so i just drive it off!works a treat!no damage done as yet n been doin it for 5 years! :D

do as above but use reverse,

Take handbrake off, select reverse and they should free. Always works better than going forward
