lynchfourtwenty Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 not as hard as i thought.. i think i might of put one of the shoes in upside down on the passenger side.. but it seemed to only wanna fit that way.. but im not 100% sure i did or not since i couldnt get the fucking drum back off to check after i did the drivers side.. the little holes in the drum u put bolts in stripped an i cant get it back off.. how ever the brakes are working 110% better then they were..

ggzilla Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 To get the drum off, back off the brakes using the brake adjuster stud. Then they'll come right off Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 You can use the tailgate bolts [12 mm] to insert into the drums for removal. Quote Link to comment

SurgeL320 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 4lb sledge got my drums off with a quickness. Hey mopar, just yesterday you told me 5lb sledge to get them off ;) :lol: where and how did you hit it ? mine are completely stuck , wheels wont even turn Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hit it on the face, all around the center hub Hit it on the circumference, all around Hit it on the back edge of the drum (as if to knock it off). But with old rusty, sitting trucks, you probably need to use HEAT on the center of the drum, all around where it fits the hub nub. Heat it with a torch till it 'pops'. It may get red hot first.
