Doing rear brakes on subject vehicle and trying to get drum off
Wheel cylinders leaking
The twist is that the rear end is out of a 70s C60
Can’t turn tires by hand so shoes adjusted too tight and adjusters frozen
This is the two wheel cylinder style any ideas?
What if it took wheel cylinder bolts out and tried to knock wheel cylinders in? | | | | | Joined: May 2019 Posts: 235 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2019 Posts: 235 | Scratch that
A stop and adjusters holding shoes out so loosening cylinders won’t help
Hate to stick a torch through adjuster hole to loosen adjusters

They are for a '70's C60 and deal with the brakes on the rear axle, so maybe they will give you some light bulb flash ideas to tackle your problem.  Big Blue Brakes Part 1 - The Chevy C60 Wheel Cylinder RemovalBig Blue Brakes Part 3 - The Brake Job is Becoming a Battleground on the C60There are two other videos but those mostly focus on other brake components, while these are specifically about the rear axle. I partially watched the first one and it has a unique way of removing those wheel cylinders.  Let us know if these help.
