ahh well i will try removing it with the prop shaft first! i have a selection of pully pullers but not sure if the biggest one is big enough!

on the rear of the backplate, there are two nuts and opposite two bolts, these hold the adjuster in situ. unbolt these and callapes the brakes??. but i reccon its the drum tight on the splines..

yeah i think its just the drum ceased onto the splines! was suppose to do it today but it took me 4 hours to get a half shaft out my rear axle as the bearing was completely ceased! i had to make a slide hammer out of an old steering arm and a pair of bike handle bars after all that it wouldnt budge! i was going to try and yank it out with my range rover but thought it might be overkill ended up turning the drum around getting a crowbar about as long as the River Thames on one side then hitting with a sledge hammer the otherside! almost fell of its axle stands the poor thing haha .

i will have a look at the handbrake tomorrow when i get the rear axle back together!

if i cant get the drum off the transfer box i will just leave it and use the hand throttle for hill starts haha

if you cant move it, and havnt got the tools.. i would leave the rear prop off, drive to a local garage and get them to put a puller on it,?? might cost you a drink, but its better than wrecking the drum..

id love to do that mate but it has no seats in it and a bit of wiring and my air box needs to be fitted ect also have no insurance yet! i like to do everything myself so if i cant get it off ill leave it for now until i can take it up the yard and get my gas torch on it. cant even bloody tow it up at the moment with no wheels on the back

I changed my mind about this X-eng handbrake! it used to work fine but now its doing my nut in after destroying another set of pads and not releasing properly!! I am going to try and modify it to make it work better and if i do i'll post the progress!
