I have a 93 LX 1.9 coupe, rear drum brakes.

I was feeling the d.s. rear brakes stick and make loud noise, so I pulled both rear wheels. Looked ok, but the passenger side rear cylinder showed fluid leaking. So I put it back together to go get the parts. Now the p.s. rear is totally seized up.

I will put new wheel cylinders, springs and shoes on ... but there are the issues ..

1. the p.s. will be a bear to get off because it's seized. I can't figure out how to get to an adjustment to free it up from outside the drum.

2. IF the original problem was seized parking brake/adjustment mechanism, I can't find a replacement mechanism anywhere - no dealers, no auto parts stores, not on Rock Auto's online data base. Any ideas?

3. That mechanism has an arm that comes in through the back, then is joined to the arm that you see from the open brake system. Should that arm move freely at the joint? This is frozen solid. Again ... can't find a replacement part! I have some spray on it now, seeing if I can get it to free up.

So... help getting drum off (by adjusting, release parking brake, whatever)?
Help repairing or locating the adjusting/parking brake arm?

Thanks
