[GasVein]

Is there a way to block Expertvillage from my searches?

[keetongu007]

hey, i'm a musician, and a few days ago i saw 'brake drum' staning on my papers, any idea what kinda music i can make with this except hitting it with a hamer?

[dashwood123]

If it was that easy, I wouldnt be on here looking for info on how to remove a drum that has siezed up.

[Obsoliit]

this was an easy one... show one where the shoes created a nasty groove, and the adjusters are rusted in place so something has to be broken to get it off and then everything has to be replaced

[mick5531]

Yeah that worked, i hit the hub n it pushed it back on, great advice mate

[josemustang65]

not much help. old cars are different

[ozzyloki]

wow, that made it look easy, heading out to my car now.

[ned900]

why are these videos not in order, (numbered) 1. 2. 3. 4. ect. - its a nightmare to navigate.

good videos,terrible presentation.

[midgety1]

@ned900 because expert village is shit

[tubestick00]

a hammer is still the most useful and versatile tool today. if all else fail try hitting it with a hammer.

[arsdag81]

ooh nice..... that was smooth.

[mrmax1984]

Thanks for this video. I spent an hour trying to do it through the little hole w/ two screw-drivers. Much appreciated.

[skyraider200]

what about the 'undo the adjusters' part of the video ...guess that was left out of the script huh!

[praj43]

it is extremely hard to remove the drums from my rear drum brakes. It is really rusted....any suggestions...i tried what you said but still does not work!!!!

[MustangFan424]

@praj43 Get a torch and heat it up, then hit it with a ball-pean hammer.

[donobototron]

Thanks. Video helped me.

[SucraminUK]

I have try everything to take that off. Until, I remember I could find some help here on youtube. I will try it on mine I hope it works!

[bluehighlighterfreak]

instant pressure release!

[wheelsx5]

Ditto - hammering straight on did not work. Here's what did work: What I did was take two claw hammers. I put one claw inbetween on the edge of the drum and the dust sheild and hit that hammer with the other. Worked like a charm.

[justgiveaname]

mine have two scews instead of the clips and one of them is badly stripped, can I drill it?

[billyracecar]

i work at a garage and this happened to a vehicle i was working on, all we did was drill out that screw and replace it

[apunkfromatl]

ok! That crap didn't work on mine!!!

[langevin07]

remove your hand brake dude lol

[dashwood123]

Nice :)

[Ruben1a12]

Thanks Dude i'm going to try that right now.

[VideoMan1968]

Nate, thanks for this tut. I ended up saving about 250 bucks doing this myself!

[extrememan123]

it takes a little more effert than that to take the drum off.

[kosmosleha]

@extrememan123 just a little hahhahahah

[silentblackhat]

I also know on some cars you can use a long bolt(of the proper thread size for ur drum) and screw it into the brake drum. when its tightened, it will force the brake drum off outwards

[cozycraig]

awesome, thank you very much. very helpful, hope you have more vids
