not familiar with erosion but very familiar with oxidation (rust),i presume that's what you meant.i really did expect to be able to move it,there is very little rust on the vehicle,the chassis appears to be spot on,i really didn't expect problems.perhaps that was a little naive of me.
Sorry to be pedantic but oxidization aint only rust - it is the chemical reaction of the parent metal and oxygen in the surrounding environment - and can happen to most metals, such as iron, copper and Aluminium. Rust is the common name which refers to ferric oxide and should only apply to iron based metals. Erosion/Corrosion affects all materials to a greater or lesser extent, depending on its environment.
Yella was, as usual, perfectly correct in his use of the word erosion, as it would apply to all the metalic parts of the vehicle.

it wont be just the shoes that are seized, its more than likely the linkage rods to the actuator. like slob says take out the drivers seat, you might be able to get to it from there but you need to release the whole linkage and the actuator as well as the shoes inside the drum. oh and ive just gotta quote daft on this
may be i do , maybe i don't...
Yella - correct - but still a bastid
oh - an it aint daft - if yu insist - it is Daft

If its the transmision brake cant you just put the gearbox and transfer box in neutral to make it roll??? Just a thought duno if it would work
nope, cos that would only isolate the engine and front axle from the h/brake and yer rear wheels would still be braked via the prop shaft, so yer have to remove the rear prop or if yer can reach the h/brake from under the seats yer might be able to free it orf, but i doubt it
i fink a cupple of spanners mite be a cheaper alternative
Watch what you do with that gas axe cause you will be sitting on the fuel tank.
I would **** it with a big soft mallet and then see if you can put a crow bar through the uj's and turn the drive shaft both ways to free it off.

I'm with everyone else on this: seized transmission brake.
Personally I wouldn't bother trying to free it if its that tight but would pull the rear prop as others have suggested, get it home, and work on it there.
Take a big sheet of plastic to lay on if you don't want to get muddy, but being a Landrover you're gonna get muddy sometime
