Yeah howdy! There are no holes in the face of it. The backing plate hides the back of the drum so no puller will fit there. The brat didn't move for 6 or 7 yrs and that wheel sunk into the dirt. One extreme way is to unbolt all the brake mounting nuts and beat the whole assembly off. I had intended to take it to my mechanic but it won't roll. I will look into the old forums, glad you are still around.

Hi folks. I am long time gone from the forum but I really am going to try and get the brat rolling. Driver side rear drum is frozen tight. I tried the obvious things but no go. The square drive shoe adjuster is frozen tight. The wheel lugs and axle nut is off, and pb blasted the bolts and axle. I don't do face book but wondered if most people go that way now adays. Also Hi Moosens long time no see.

hi paul. i haven't been here in ages and i see your recent post. stay well. dave

Thanks for posting your build. I have a mostly rust free az 78 brat. Just got it running after being parked for 15 yrs.

I'm guessing fuel pump

greetings 78! welcome to the board. 78 brat in az.

Nice!

Nice! Pop top suby? Gotta be a first.

Kinda like watching your kids grow up and move out. A little bit lonely, a bit cathartic. When i first got on the forum there was alot of gen one rigs. Now it is pretty sparce. I hope to get my 78 brat going again. It is running though. Good luck paul Peace out

I have 3. Two can/will run.... a lifted 78 and a 87. The third is for parts. Arizona!

I'd be interested in turn signal housing. Front left. Or even just the amber clear/ lense. Dp

I have an extra couple of those. Cost to you...nada. let me know where to send it.

Welcome, all's well that ends well! Suby on.

I will take a look.

I just fired up my 78 brat. It hadn't started for 10 years. I drained the tank ( gen ones have a drain bolt), blew the line from the pump back to the tank. I could get it to run on temporary gas supply but the pump wouldn't pick up the gas. So i undid the fuel line to the pump, took a rag to seal the gas tank off and used my compressor with a blow gun to pressurize the tank. Worked great. You should put the fuel line end in a can cause it will blow everywhere.
