I had an 05 cavalier I bought for 450 at 160k miles. Previous owner blew the rear cylinder and used the handbrake to stop the car everywhere they went. The adjusters were all mangled inside. It took 3 strong men with a crowbar each pulling and using wedges to break the adjuster pieces to pry the drum off. The shoes had worn over 2mm deep into the drum and were stuck inside them. We pulled and yanked for over 2 hours before we could break it off.
Get a friend that is a mechanic box of brakes off first obviously you never done that hit the drum on the outside Flack where the shoe fits inside it acts like a bell shops and metal in the drum popsite off did it millions of times in my inspection mechanic career of 45 years obviously you've never experienced our diagnostic mechanics yet but it'll come meanwhile tap it like you're doing and take all day to get something disassembled
I tried this recently with my car- took the brake drums off almost exactly how you did. Once I put them back on however (slid them back on and used a hammer to gently push them back into place, put the wheel + lugnuts on, torqued, etc.) they started to make a loud swishy noise when I would drive. Did I put them on wrong, how do I fix it?
Ive decided the next set of drums i do im converting to disks... I hate doing them because the person before always messed something up. The wheel cylinders were on the wrong sides of my gfs car... small shops cut corners to keep the bread and butter brake work coming back and dealers want your car for the cost of a repair. Torqued to spec antiseized in the right spots. Any rust ground to bear metal. I dont plan on doing those again for a while now.
Wtf lmao I just spent 3hrs yesterday wondering why i couldn't get this thing off my moms jeep.... never even thought of the stupid e break 😅. I wasted my whole day yesterday 😂😂😂. Would of wasted hrs today again unless I seen ur comment. Thank you!!!!
Just a bit of propane torch around the center hub hole, not a lot just enough to slip over the rust on the axle flange. Before you all freak out, I didn't say plasma cutter...or Oxygen Lance..lol

This one was also seized. The hardware broke apart inside the drum and jammed everything
That summbich was stubborn!!!.. Thought you might have to pull out " the Asian Hot Wrench "... 😂😂😂

You may need to adjust the brake once you have the drum on. Sounds like you may be riding the brakes because they are too tight against the drum

What’s wrong with the shelf adjuster?
This is me everytime and then i notice that the handbrake is on
Always release the e-brake and back off the tension. This one was seized and broken on the drum

Love the cars that have the two screw holes you can put two bolts in and tighten them and it comes out. Saw that this one does not have that😳
Question... Can you screw the screws all the way till it pops off? Like it won't damage the inside?

Wire brush and penetrating oil
That's the way I do it.
Pry and try to turn drum.
I thought it was "easy way to remove"??....that looked difficult.
Yike o Mighty Moses and Roses 😲
Fresh axle nut included?
В топ
So I'm just supposed to pull it off once I get the tire off or is something holding it on
After you release the brake pressure by loosening the brake adjuster, it should slide off
@@PhillipsVision yeah had to force mine off the wheel cylinder locked up in the open position first time messing with drum brakes I was stumped
@@PhillipsVisionWhat's the brake adjuster?
