you will probably have to remove the wheel and hit the drum or disc with a hammer...the bigger the better, and break the rust loose. then try removing the drum or caliper and oiling everything underneath. a long pry bar might help too...i've been there before, good luck

you may also try some penetrating oil to help. you may try wd-40, pb blaster, knocker loose can help. when all else fails the big hammer will do!

if you have drum in the rear heat it up with a propane torch n hit the **** out of it with a big hammer thats how thier going to do it at any automotive shop and when you get that off on the top under the drum there will be a adjustment wheel it looks like a small gear you can turn with a flat head screw driver dont turn it to much though it will adjust the pads inside the drum if thats whats keeping it from moving but also use the pb blaster that **** works wounders with rust...
