brake sticking

[nwltruck]

I don't hardly ever use my brakes on my '07 3320, but yesterday I was pulling a trailer and needed to use them. They worked fine until I wanted to move again, and they wouldn't release. I found that the brake cams where jammed. I had to get in behind the wheels and tap the cams to get them to release. I Know someone here can help. I would be thankfull for Any feedback.

With a little research I found that the cams will stick in the housing with lack of use. I will try at working them back and forth to loosen them. Is there any way to prevent this from happening again, or should I just hit the brakes more often?

Yep. common problem...I think Fluid Film is the best solution for this-as well as using them every now and then.
