Front or rear. Was the handbrake left on.

Shoes possibly bonded to the drum if handbrake was left on.

Secure her well, get in under and have someone operate the breaks and hand break and watch what’s happening. The linkages on the system tend to siege up and it may just not be operational. Split the side breaks when doing this.

After that the hub will need taking off.

If your doing that ensure you engage the diff lock on the DB, tie it in place engaged or you’ll have problems.

Ours had the pivot pin for the shoes shear off, no breaks on that side at all now

Ah the DB 995, my area of expertise. :rolleyes:
Do exactly as Brian says above. Basically the part at the tip of the blue arrow in the first pic should push back when you press the brakes. If this doesnt move, put a bit of timber on it and hit it gently towards the front of the tractor. This should release it.
This part rotates the left shaft in the second pic. This in turn pushes the brake liners (pads) out against the inside of the wheel drums. I have a feeling these pads are worn down and need to be replaced.

Any chance it's stuck in gear?
