anyone got any ideas.my rear brake drums wont come off. i have disconnected handbrake cable and still stuck?

[Kermy87]

Use a big fu&@ off hammer, worked for me,
Nahh I'd bolt Ur wheel to the drum make sure The 4 nuts holding the drum on are undone and giv it an almighty wiggle , shuv, prod, push and a kick , might work ?? ?? Worth a try

There is a a brake adjustment on the back of the drum. Its basically a thread that adjusts the brake. You need to stick a small flat bladed screw driver into the hole feel around a bit. If you can wait till tomorrow i will get some pics up tomorrow morning showing what i mean. Kinda hard to explain, easier to show with pics Maybe someone else might be able to articulate it better then me but meh, whatever

Or a slide hammer. Attach it to one of the studs with a wheel nut and belt the shit out of it (it may bend something, i have bent the brake pad metal bit doing this once, just a word of warning!!)

if the four nuts in the middle are definitely off. and the brakes are not on.

Hit a hammer with some decent blows around the circumfrence of the drum it should wiggle off.

Either a hammer as others have suggested, or keep dumping the clutch in first and reverse until it releases heh.

wind the wheel nuts out so there is only a few threads left and use the wheel as a slide hammer

different nuts. undo the four axle nuts and leave the wheel nuts on a bit.
