Without the "right tools for the job" I thought it was hopeless. Thanks for the tips!

I'll tell ya what, I got a 98 Honda CRV rust bucket here in Iowa and my brake drum is as stuck if not more. I'm beginning to think fire is the only answer, just burn the whole fuckin car, god dammit, I hate rust.

What is that blue-green color on the bolts of the hub? Is it a green threadlocker? On my bolts was same color, not sure what it was. If that brake drum is very rusty, is it possible to clean it, or you need to buy a new one? Thank you for the film.

I just removed both my rear brake drums for the first time ever! My secret. I used my $200 rubber sledge hammer from "Mac's Hardware." It is a 12 lb. Deadblow hammer that is 36" long. The drum had rust welded itself to the shaft that centers your wheel on the hub. 5 good whacks all over and it came right off!

Outstanding!

The most likely cause of a drum being ''stuck '' on is a grove worn into the drum by the brake shoe . Just back off the star adjuster on the back side and save yourself some time . If the center of the drum is rusted to the axle strike it with a hammer .

Good explanation of what's causing the problem in this situation.

How to replace back. Brake drum pads

ATF & Acetone - "Red Eye" rust eater...creeps because of the trans fluid... 1:1 ratio shake it up while using

I have a 96 Toyota Camry with this same problem. It has the 2 built holes and my hub is so bad the threads ripped out. Plus the backing plate overlaps the outside of the hub so you have to bend it to get the screwdrivers in. What a pain. Hub still isnt off yet. Daily driver time constraints

Can you slightly drop the drum on the ground with the jack that would jar it loose not overdo it but it should loosen it enough so you can pull it off I've seen this done

The mixture of penetrant that beats Kroil, 50/50 ATF and Acetone. I used it on my WI truck cab and bed mounts, they came off without breaking. You can rent a tool from an auto parts store, then if it breaks it's under warranty and returnable. Damn original drums! No Shit.

Un bolt the brake cylinder from the back plate and push it in. the shoes will fall away from the drum that way and you can get them out of that worn in groove.

Pry bars will bend backing plate.chisell n hammer around the hub center will work.

When I have had to free up stuck drums, I get the back axle and tires off of the ground, on jack stands. I pull the tire I'm working on and then get into vehicle and put it in drive. Get the rear wheels spinning and then step on the brake. The drum comes loose from everything. It's a little hazardous I know, but it saves a lot of time and labor. Very effortless and effective. If not on the first try, usually second or third attempt and it's off. :)

Yes just de ajust brakes fully .wire wheel few times around hub center n use penetrant n pop hammer will pop rite off

The dude abides, man

If you are hitting it on the innermost area where the hub is directly behind, you are safe to hit it very hard and you won't break anything.

nah get yourself one of those HF needle guns for that shit. An easy way to prevent the surface corrosion in the first place is a quick spritz of that graphite lube. 14:48 yes toyota does have it

toyota does have the bolt holes they are 8mm

Don't bend the backing plate. All your hardware is attached to that.

I have same car rusted worse Gina have to cut drums off.

I use a 1 LB or heavier hammer to remove hub. Take the hammer an smack it on the outer most face of drum. Than rotate drum 1/4 turn, than smack it again. Continue doing so, till drum pops loose. I find this trick works very well for me. It usually takes me 2 minutes, or less, to do so.

Wack it! Wack it good!

ya grease the brakes.

Dont use pry hard you will backing plate.

My way not his unless want ruined drums.

You shouldn't do this and you shouldn't do that but I do it anyway and you can do it anyway so why did I say you shouldn't do this and you shouldn't do that? Cuz I don't have much of a clue? What he's prying on is the backing plate - which is relatively thin plate. Yeah it's bowed out. A puller is the best route. And it doesn't have to be an expensive one. If the drum was heated where it contacts the hub (actually the end of the axle) with an acetlyene torch (carefully and before anything flammable was applied) it would probably have popped off very quickly. There are some good videos on brake drum removal on KZfaq - this isn't one of them. Toyota's threaded holes work very well if they aren't rusted to the point the threads are gone. "Who the hell knows man?". Not this dude. "The hammer is actually doing microscopic things to the rust." Jesus.

Mi state cop colors

yea use panter pee

oh get on with it!!!! ok that's it I couldn't hang around while my car sits jacked up in the driveway

One of gms better ideas I got one same type of drums n they will not come off Gina have to drill n cut them off I do have new ones
