HI....
Quick update....the bolts in the drum holes worked! The drum is off. Thanks so much. Now I have to figure out how to replace everything in there

What size bolts did you use?
I'm going to be doing working on my brakes once the parts come in.

If that doesn't work, take it to a brake place (like midas or w/e) and have them do an inspection on the drums(should be free). After they do the inspection just leave. They will have already taken the drum off to do the inspection so you should be able to get it out w/o a problem.

So if u take it for a brake inspection to have to drum removed and they find an issue that isnt safe they wont allow u to leave esp if the seized brake needs repairs done so be aware of that issue prior to setting out on that journey
