Rear Brakes "Frozen"?

[bertwhitaker]

When I had my 01 in for a lot of stuff, the guy said the rear drums were frozen on, and that likely meant that some stuff inside them was frozen too, which would mean a required entire drum and shoe replacement. I can't get the drums off myself at all, and it seems to stop okay. Should I just shut up and wait until I hear the shoes scraping into the drums, or have him change the whole shebang? After replacing the fronts, he said it seems to only be stopping with the fronts, which I find kind of ridiculous. I think the car is high up, so body tilt is strong on stops. Am I crazy? Should I change them or just shut up?

Did you back off the self adjusters? Did you use a really big hammer and hit the front of the drum?
