Brakes problem
1972 Volkswagen Beetle 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I have it in neutral and the parking brake is loose, but I cannot get the car to roll. The car isn't running right now either, but I need to get it to push so I can get it in the garage. What should I do?

Hi there, jack up the car and back off the brake adjusters fully, then you will need to remove the split pin on the rear hub and get a socket and bar on the axle nut, working the axle back and forth should start to free up the brakes if the adjusters don't
