[Vwdiesel] Vwdiesel Digest, Vol 152, Issue 4

LOL. Second on that vote. Probably get re-acquainted with some naughty words you haven't used in a while when you dig into rebuilding the drum brakes too. FWIW the last time I had a frozen cable @ the rears I also discovered the rear plate where the cable entered the drum assembly was *very* small and was essentially "soldered" with rust in place. 
Cheers,Andy

I vote for the BFH to break the frozen drums free.
