Remove the belt and turn the tranny pulley in the spin direction. Brakes should release and tranny start to turn. If not, you have a worn thrust washer. You will need to buy the pulley and thrust washer kit and follow the directions, am not familiar with this repair, might want to re-post for more info. Also, sometimes if the housing gets wet from a leak, the brakes will stick. Sometimes if you tap on the brake housing while turning, they will release.
