Drum Brakes

[jster28]

Does anyone know what size bolt is needed to remove the rear brake drum cover. Mine are stuck and can't find the right size bolt to tread in the hole to pop it loose.

It wasn't there, but i figured it out. You use the screws that hold the drum. Thanks anyways

Could you give a bit more details? I've never changed drums before and I'm not quite sure I follow what you mean.

There actually prettyy easy to change. exept for the rust.

On the drum face youll find two pretty big phillips head screws. Undo them. Takes alot of force but there pretty strong so they held up. Then I had to just keep hitting the drum with a hammer until all the rust loosened up and I was able to take the cover off.

FOr the insides just make one side look like the other and your golden.

Ok thanks. Last time I removed the screws and hit the drum but it wouldnt come loose so I figured it was held in place by something in the middle.

I guess all I needed to do was keep bashing.(deadhorse

you take one of those screws and thread it into the hole on the outer part of the drum face. as you thread it in it will pop it off and just take the screw back out and do the brakes. that the way to do it with out the bashing.
