I had the rear brakes bind hard on a Vanagon Syncro (4wd). It had been sitting with the handbrake on for one month, and I just loosened the brake handle, put it in low gear and made an attempt to pull it out. It didnt work. Both right side wheels were spinning (rear left was binding). So I pulled the knob for the rear differential lock, the rear axle locked with a "thunk" and still the brake shoes didnt budge. The car actually dragged the rear end with the front wheels! But after about 10 minutes, it broke loose. I also tried to hammer on the drum/rim with a sledgehammer, to no help.
