I havn't really had the time to touch the car lately (about 6 or so years), and recently, when i had to move the car, it noticed that i couldnt even push it out of the garage.

Its basically been sitting still for a few years, and tomorrow im getting new garage doors installed, and for this, i need to take the car out.

anyone have any ideas on how to get the wheels moving again? i left it with the parking brake on, so i assume that was a stupid mistake on my part, cuz now its stuck.

Hopefully the shoes are rusted to the drum and the cables are not rusted in the housing. I have found that a sharp rap around the drum with a hammer can free up shoes that are stuck to the drum. If the cable is stuck in the housing, I don't have an easy cure.
