+ff5gus You can rent a puller from any of the major parts stores and save
you the pain of getting the drum off. If you cant get the puller, then
definitely try this! Let me know how it goes!
+ff5gus Sounds like you need to use a large C-clamp and compress the piston
on the calipers. Then it will allow you to remove the brakes.
+ff5gus Do you mean the rear shoes are keeping the drums from coming off?
Or is it rear disc brakes on your car?
hey Chris go get your self a BIG hammer and just hit the Drum so hard until
it pops off next time your doing it. it works with rotors too. no matter
what it will work in less than a minute :)
damn! I’ve worked on cars for years & never seen anything like that. grew
up in the north working on rusted cars. live in the south now & man is it
nice. no rust. even muffler bolts bust loose easily. nice vid , I could
tell you were on a mission lol
Thanks.
That was very helpful.. I’m doing my Scout 2 4 x 4 brakes.. just unbolting
the piston was enough!
use a BIG BOY HAMMER … NEVER USE WD.40 OR ANY OIL ON OR AROUND BREAKS
,, HAHAHA
nice job.
ทำไมไม่ เขี่ย ตัวตั้งเบรค ลดเบรคลง ก็ หลุดแล้ว ถ่ายคลิป จาก สว่าง ถึง

This was fantastic. Drums on Old Chevy are like this. Thought I’d need to
replace brake cylinders and those pins are easy to get. So drilling the
pins should hopefully work. Thanks for thawing my brain freeze.
It may have been worth your while using a hub puller on this one. I us hub
pullers all the time on drums it speeds up the process so much. Maybe on
this type the whel bearing will com out with the drum itself. But seeing
how long it took you its worth an option in the future
that sucks you had to go that far bro. atleast you got it fixed
Great tips in this video Chris. By that point in the evening though, I
would have set fire to the whole damn thing.
Yh a ball peen would done the trick. Never came across a drum that a ball
peen coudnt handle
Man and a large hammer have worked wonders… Large dead blows even more
so…. When in doubt apply more man
hahahahahahahahahaha is that your sisters hammer
Use a big hammer and SMASH IT. Pissing around doesn’t work. NEVER hit a
drum on the outside of the shoe surface if you plan on reusing the drum, it
will cause brake pulsation.
I fought with a front rotor like that recently. Seized on so bad it took an
hour of hammering to beat it off the hub. Here is a tip for drums that may
help you in the future. I noticed you using a pry bar behind the outer back
edge of the drum and tapping on it. You were, at that point, kinda close to
being on the right track with getting the drum off using a similar tool.
Next time, try sticking a flat head screwdriver in that bitch?! Right in
the groove between the backing plate and drum, then once inside just pry
outward, work around the whole edge doing the same thing, using the backing
plate as leverage for the screwdriver to push the drum away from the plate.
Works every time for me no matter how bad they are stuck on. Your pry bar
was too wide and big to get into that rounded groove between the drum and
back plate and hammering on it didn’t help your cause much, but a large
flat head screwdriver is the perfect size/tool to get into the groove and
in front of plate and behind the drum. A stupid simple flat screwdriver
made all the difference for me. Now I don’t “beat” back drums off, I force
them off with the screwdriver. I still have to use the hammer, don’t get me
wrong, to loosen things up, but I don’t have to beat the shit out of them
either any more. Use the hammer on the screw driver handle too if you need
to, to beat the drums off. It does work. I feel for you man.! Good job.
Been there, and it looked hellish. Stay dirty.
damn went from day to night. stay motivated. lol
I use a bigger hammer 3 or 4 lb sledge
Really though, get a sledge and smack that mother. That hammer is tiny, you
need something with some weight to it. More often than not, it’s just the
lip that forms on the drum when the shoes where in over time.
Why didn’t you try loosing the brake shoes with the adjuster wheels before
drilling out the shoe retaining pin?
Why dont you use a puller.. ?
… I,VE BEEN DOING IT FOR 35 YEARS & HAVEN,T DAMAGE ONE YET, A SHORT
HANDLE SLEDGE HAMMER IS ALL U NEED …
adjust at the handbrake maybe?
dude you have absolutly no idea what you are doing… jesus, go cook a meal
and let me take it off in 2 minutes
Great work although on the pins the easiest way is to take a chisel and
give it a nice wop with a small hammer to break the ends off those pins
that retain the brake pads into the drum assembly.
A baseball bat and WD40 or PB Blaster worked for me! (broke my wooden bat)
on a 3/4 ton drum
This is why drum brakes are retarded. expensive to repair, too complicated
for what it should be. Manufactures should stop being cheap and just use
smaller discs..
Thank you for your videos. I am preparing to do my brakes on my Saturn and
this looks like such a pain. What can cause the drum to get stuck like
that? I’m afraid mine might end up being like this. I live up north so
they salt the roads a lot out here, could that contribute to them getting
stuck? And how can I prevent it?
lol dude u r stupid just take the wheel cylinder off then the drum will
come off EZ LOL that took u all day and half the night LOL
Just worked for me.
CHRIS DID YOU BACK THE BRAKE AT THE BOTTOM?
Always compress the brakes first using the star wheel adjuster then use a
puller.
This is a great way ! 83 merc gran marquis, drums had not been remove for
25 yrs.The penitrating oil in the lugs, wait 10 min, hammer with 20oz was
the ticket. Wish i saw this back n the 70’s,lol
Nice vid Chris. I’m in the middle of a tough one right now.
… ALL U NEED IS A BIGGER HAMMER …
Well documented, thanks !
I’m A 62 YO retired wrench in the land of salt and snow ( AKA Minnesota)
and I could bore you to death with brake drum story’s. Wait till you get
one where the bonding fails and the brake shoe material travel’s around
until it gets trapped between the drum and the other shoe! That dude came
to A real quick stop and I ended up cutting the drum off with the gas ax.
As far as people barking at you about harming the drum I would suspect you
had to replace it anyway seeing as the shoe cut A groove in it. Can’t turn
them after A certain point people!
Also A few people mentioned using A puller but the wheel stud’s on this rig
are on the Axel flange and not incorporated into the drum therefore A slide
hammer puller won’t work and I don’t think A jaw type puller would fit
between the backing plate and the drum. I have welded stud’s to drum’s such
as this so A slide hammer puller could be used but I knew that I was going
to replace the drum so no harm no foul. You also need welding equipment and
most back yard mechanic’s don’t have access to welding machine’s.
Also as far as hammer’s go I like to use A 2 or 3 pound lead or bronze
hammer. Not cheap especially the bronze hammer but they will give you A
solid strike without the chance of destroying A good drum. Lead hammer’s
you can make. Just save up A bunch of wheel weight’s and melt them down,
stick in A pipe for A handle and let it cool. Make the mold look something
like A hammer.
Good luck in the mechanic trade. Not many people want to get there hands
dirty these day’s. Kudos to those that do!
