Default Re: Help, Rear Brake Drum Removal

Success Finally!

This is how I got the drum off. I reinstalled the tire and lowered the truck. Installed the KR Wilson style hub remover and tighten the crap out of it. I used a ½ inch drive 2 foot long breaker bar with a 3 foot cheater bar. Sweet Success! Time for a Beer!

Upon inspection of the axel, I found a quarter size area of corrosion in the middle of the taper of the axel. It appears that this was the problem. The remaining areas were wet from the penetrating oil that was applied.

Thanks for all of the help!
