Removing Break Drums

[Eric Lewis]

After getting the Ole Girl running this week for the first time I put her up on jack stands to begin inspecting, adjusting the brakes. Pulled three brake drums with no problem, got to the left rear and could not get it to budge, used a hub puller, a BFH and heat and low and behold, I had forgotten to release the emergency brake.............duh. Once I stumbled on to that it popped right off.

Lesson Learned...double check all assumptions.
