| Post subject: | Stuck Drums on my 94 SWB Sierra |
I need some advice about how I can remove my drums on my Sierra. It has been sitting for quite a while and they have seized. I have just managed to get one of them to turn freely by using heaps of WD40 and hitting the drum with a rubber mallet but the other one is super stuck. I have been told to use a small hole in the rear of the brake housing to access the shoes and mechanism with a screw driver. When I stick the screw driver in I can't find anything to free the shoes. I hope you know of the hole I am talking about, It has a small rubber lug seal. What should I be doing? And once I get them turning freely, how do I remove the drum? Should it come off by hand? Any advice would help as I am an ameteur at this stuff. Thanx |

Try using the jacking bolt holes in the drum. Tighten bolts up and tap with mallet and repeat. That should get the drum off. |

The jacking bolt holes?? She's stuck fast. Does anyone know about the small hole on the back of the backing plate? A brake expert told me to access the shoes from there to back them off. I have one spinning free. I just want to get them both free so I can take it down the road to the brake shop. |

Is your handbrake on while doing this and way I get them of is flog em with the mallet wat also works is put a nut on one of the wheel studs and use a pry bar to lever off one of the drums studs I hope that made sense |

Release hand brake, put the wheel back on and wiggle it off, or use it as a sliding hammer. |

Leave outer wheel nuts tight and undo 4 inner nuts. Kick wheel side to side but make sure the car is well supported. The wheel should fall off with the drum stuck to it. |
