So I go to move my 316 out the way but the handbrake appears to be seized in place? The handbrake in the car is down but the car wont move an inch.. Any ideas how to free it?

Might be bad advise but I would just keep trying to go back and forth until it gives. Ive done it many times in the past and after a while it goes

I've sorted it now :D Just smacked the drum with a hammer, then rolled the car and repeated a few times till it let go :D
