hi all,

im trying to get the rear drums off a 106.

i have removed the big nut in the centre of the drum and it wont come off. then u loosened the bleed nipple and handbrake to get the shoes away from the drum and nothing helped. i have hit it with a hammer and still nothing.

can someone please help me by telling me what to do. im out of ideas.

its loose and wobbles but wont come the fook off.

thanks luke.

 

it sounds like the brakes have worn the metal in the dram thats y its hard to get ..just use a big screw driver and wedge it off..,.it will come off

 

but wont that bend the plate that holds the slave cylinder out of place and fuck it all up? i need to reuse it.

 

Yeh i would of said that there will b a big lip on the inside of the brake drum. If i was you i would buy some new brake shoes and stick 2 big screw drivers behind the drums and try and force the drum over the shoes. The backing plate should be ok if you bend it when removing the drums just bend them back when you get them off.

 

i already got the new shoes as its them i want to change. but the fucker is just so dam stubborn!!!!!!!!!!!

so will it be okay if i bend it to just bend it all back, and what if springs and shit all flys out, i wont know fully how it goes back together!

 

Yeh it will b ok to bend it back into shape. If all the springs fall out it might b a good idea to buy a haynes manual.
