McGuinn Posted November 17, 2003 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2003 The rear drums are stuck. I sprayed a whole can of wd-40 and let it sit over night. I banged on them with a 10lb hammer and a wood block for 4 1/2 hours; wont budge. I would hate to set a torch to them. Is there some type of chemical I could use to take these off.Mc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdbrandy Posted November 17, 2003 Share #3 Posted November 17, 2003 What Bill said. And if you haven't backed off the shoes by using the adjusting wheel (see other posts), you're wasting your time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Moore Posted November 17, 2003 Share #4 Posted November 17, 2003 Just 2 quick observations:1. The rear brake drums are aluminum, so a cutting torch is a really BAD idea.(The fuel in the solid rocket boosters for the space shuttle is powered aluminum)2. When I bought my Z the drums were in the back, and one of them had been literally torn apart by someone who removed it from the car with a big hammer. (At least I hope and pray that the braking surface wasn't ripped from the mounting surface by something that happend while the car was in motion...)
