Stuck NS parking brake W123

[Jeff123]

Hi there,

Hope someone with greater knowledge than me can help me!

I've had a particular W123 stood for 4 years on dry ground under a 3 season car cover.

I've encountered the NS rear hub is locked, and won't turn.

Freeing off the rust between pad and disc, it now turns sideways only 1/2", but hits a dead stop each way with a "clung" sound.

Are the pistons jammed on? Is the star wheel anything to do with it - which I can't see due to the position of the hub?

How can I expect to free this?

If anybody has a suggestion I would be eternally grateful.

I have clear access around the vehicle and a rubber hammer at hand...

Thanks in advance, Jeff

My money would be on the handbrake shoe lineings having come loose.

Thanks!

…is it an easy fix? (Me and my hammer!)
