Hi All,
Changing shoes on the rear drums. Cant seem to get one of the drums off. Have changed drums before on other cars, lots of hammering usually helps and ive taken off lots of hard ones before. This one just wont budge.
ive undone the handbrake just in case, My next option would be to try screwing in the adjuster from the adjustment hole on the inside however its quite seized up and cant really adjust it. Took the other drum off and even with the drum off i had trouble turning adjuster so try doing same things through a peep hole.. not going to happen.
The drum turns alright but im still assuming the brakes are pressing against the drum. There is movement about 2mm, but it kinda just springs back into place which is why i think the shoes are holding it there..
any suggestions?
draining the brake fluid help at all?
cheers
