Hello,

 

I'm new to the group and would like some advice removing the brake drum cover from my 87 gl brat. I'm trying to convert the hubs to the Toyota 6 lug and I cant seem to get the drum cover off to access the rear hubs. I've tried beating and banging and also penetrating oil.

 

Thanks in advance

Here is a link on the process for removal of the hubs.

On the back side there is a shoe adjuster. Kind of like a star with the point stuck out. You may need to back off of this some and make sure the drum spins freely before trying to remove.
