Try gently driving back and forth, it my free off. Don’t worry about the creaking. |

You could try banging the rear drum to try and shock the shoes away from the drum.

Not sure what the set up is for the handbrake is it a handle with cables ? if so then try putting it in gear with the footbrake applied 1500 to 2000 revs then release footbrake do a few times forwards and reverse it worked for my p38 which had a similar problem also if it is cables on handle if you can get underneath spray the cable carriers with wd good luck |

When you're trying to rock it back and forth, use low range too. Lots more torque without the revs 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather
