I am beating my head against a wall trying to get the rear drums off. I have a bad wheel cylinder pouring fluid. Ordered the new parts and now I can't get the drum off to save my life. I backed off the adjusters, I opened the bleeder valve, removed the brake line, I even, pulled the bolts and tapped the wheel cylinders inwards to take any pressure off.
I have read that I need to pull the axles, and I have read that I do not.
I have the three screws through the drum. My understanding is that indicates the drum should slide off the hub without pulling the axle. I have used PB blaster, I have heated the drum with the torch, heat beat and repeat. Nothing. Suggestions?
