Did you slacken off the cables?
If you did...
Get someone with strong legs to put foot on brake...
Then try winding them bavk
Yeah cables are completely slackened - took the nut completely off the back of the handbrake. And I did try having someone press the brake, but I'll try again and ask them to press harder

Would it be safe to drive it just down the road to a garage though? Assuming there's something they can do..
But if I can't turn the adjuster, is using a hub puller and probably ripping the shoes off in the process the only other option?
I did think about possibly unscrewing the shoes from the backplate through the wheel bolt holes, haven't looked to see if that's possible yet though - seems unlikely
Oh and this is a lucas drum if that makes any difference
