during the recent cold weather, i haven't used my astra for about 5-6 days and have found today that the brakes (left the handbrake off) are stuck on, any ideas on how to release please

if shoes are stuck to drums , the easiest way i've found is to chock wheels let handbrake off remove rear wheel trims and give wheel a good few hits with hammer between wheel fixing bolts on raised part of wheel, [better if you can get someone to sit in vehicle whilst carrying this out to prevent it rolling away!]if it is linkage siezed then this method wont free them off!
