My Rear Driver side Brake is locked the shoes are firm against the drum. How would I go about un-seizing these brakes?

Open the bleed screw if the problem is hydraulic. Release the parking brake and whang the drum with a hammer if that's the issue. Failing that, back off the adjuster (PITA).

If you can rotate the drum by hand, pound it off with the hammer.

also take a look to see if the brake cable is locked up, if so then you need to get that sucker to free up and the shoes will let go.
