if your replacing the drum & brakes, then just bolt a wheel on as said with castlenut removed & keep yanking it | |

quote: Like it says, we tried that, but nothing happened, due to the shoes being pushed out into the drum, but also being attached to the handbrake cable, so nothing happened. Only way to do it was out way in the end. Thanks anyway :thumbs: | |

In future, the easiest way to get the drum off is to put a wheel back onto it once you've removed the castellated nut etc, put a couple of wheel bolts in, and just pull on the wheel. You'll have a much better grip of that, and it'll all just pop off into your hand. | |

was thinking about cutting the drum off, but in the end we managed to use a puller to get the drum far enough away from the backplate to get a screwdriver in there, and lever the shoes away from the clip at the bottom, all came apart then! Anyway, we have just come back in from replacing the brakes, have only done one side though, as its bloody snowing! think its -2C outside here! :lol: | |

Take out the split pin and undo the castle nut. Put the wheel back on and leather the shit out it with a sledge hammer. Failing that... | |

Thanks, but I tried both of those last time guys, put an old steel wheel on and smacked it with a mallet, but didnt shift. | |

if you can mate,de adjust the handbrake,probably best to use a pair of grips and a 13mm spanner.once you have done that,use 2 long screwdrivers top and bottom and lever the drum of bit by bit.hope this helps:thumbs: | |
