April 19, 200619 yr HELP - How are the drums removed? Are they just held on by the wheels? I see two very small screw holes near the center, is there something there that need to come out? Don't want to bang away with my little sledge if they need something removed. THANKS!!
April 19, 200619 yr Author Hi, All figured out. PB Blaster and a littlt knocking around and it fell off. Thanks.
April 19, 200619 yr You hit upon the way to remove stubborn rear drums in your thread starter. If you can't coak the drums off by striking the drum around its outside with a hammer, those two small threaded holes you noticed in the drum face are the next step. By simply winding in an appropriately sized bolt into each hole, and racheting them in, they will bottom out against the axle hub and pull the drum off the hub itself. Neat huh?
April 20, 200619 yr yeah...and make sure the parking break is off....not that I've ever done that.....
