Late today, I was able to pull the axle out but still can not remove the brake drum. It has 10 lugs, approximately 16 inches and has dual tires on the rear. I have had this truck for 20 years and it is a workhorse. Can't use it without the brakes.It also has a ruptured wheel cylinder. If anyone has any ideas or secrets, please help. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 190 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 190 | Probably just stuck, back the adjusters on the shoes off. Also if its like mine there are three small screws that I believe also connect the drum. Make sure there off to, but it's probably just the drum is real tight on the shoes. I had a heck of a time with mine till I backed off the adjusters good luck with yours. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 | 2 ton....
