Your first mistake is sitting in a garage for 20 years. You should have
gone out and enjoyed life. You may find it helpful to remove the handbrake
cable completely and, as another responder mentioned, back off the adjuster.

Subject: TR-3 Rear Brake Drum Removal
I am trying to remove the rear brake drums from my TR-3B (after sitting
in the garage for 20 yrs). I got the driver's side off without a
problem, but the passenger side has resisted all attempts, including
liberal applications of PB Blaster, a BFH, heat and verbal abuse. The
brake system is drained, and hand brake cable is loose. Thanks in
advance for any suggestions.
