#1: Cant get my drums off Author: smccullie, Location: inverkeithingPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 9:56 am ---- Anyone got any tips on how to get the rear drums off a 206 1.4 t reg, I am as far as i have got the rear hub nut off, been out there for ages trying to pull the thing off.
#2: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: smiddies, Location: BrightonPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 9:59 am ---- I tried getting my rear drums off too!! They were seized!! Garage said would be easy to change the whole rear axle!!
I needed the rear hubs off due to a snapped handbrake cable!

#5: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: smccullie, Location: inverkeithingPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 10:14 am ---- Its like the drum is hitting of the shoes when i am trying to pull it off, are the shoes set in a lip in the drum
#6: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 10:15 am ---- no lip but the shoes will be a tight fit.
#7: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: jeoff82, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 10:40 am ---- The shoes will have worn a lip into the drum making them hard to remove. Flat bladed screwdriver either side to remove. Make sure you grind the lip off before you put them back on.
#8: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: stevedude, Location: aldershotPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 10:51 am ---- i take it there's no hole to adjust the shoe?
#9: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: jeoff82, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:06 am ---- I dont think there is a hole in the drum.
#10: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: stevedude, Location: aldershotPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:11 am ---- Mmmm ok,

there is there the wheel nut goes isnt there?
#12: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: stevedude, Location: aldershotPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:21 am ---- just looked in haynes, no hole lol
says use a plastic hammer to tap around it, making sure hand brake is off first.
it also states ya could slacken off hand brake cable "via adjusting bolt" so it will give more slack.
a hub extractor could do it too

my fault, i was thinking about other drums ive changed, some have a hole where you poke a screwdriver in to tighten/slacken shoes, but looking in haynes 206s dont
#14: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: Whirly, Location: SheffieldPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:28 am ---- had to snap mine off and buy new ones they were siezed that bad, when i got the car they hadnt been checked for 57k miles, only wanted to change the shoes
#15: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: giveitsomebar, Location: redditchPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 12:06 pm ---- get a hammer smack quite hard all the way round it put the wheel back on make sure the handbrake is off an kick the wheel from under the wheel turning it every now an then
#16: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 12:10 pm ---- Undo the castle nut and put the wheel back on, not fully tight but nip them up
Then smack the inside of the wheel with a block of wood and a hammer.
Or buy a drum puller

#17: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 12:25 pm ---- when ever i used to remove the shoes i always undone the handbrake cable compensator as sometimes this gave it enough to grab and then because of the lip they end up wearing into the drum i just got a big hammer and really belted it all the way round stopping ever now and then to pull it to try and get it off.
as said before make sure to grind the lip off the drum when refitting them as it makes life so m uch easier later on
#18: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 1:17 pm ---- use a puller, easiest way, if that doesnt work then you're screwed
#19: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: smccullie, Location: inverkeithingPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 1:56 pm ---- I will have another go tomorrow, think kicking the shi out of it seems the best idea
#20: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: tightwad, Location: WorcestershirePosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 6:07 pm ---- I've made a drum puller out of bits of wood before (and a big bolt to push against the stub axle). It needs to be strong wood though! 18mm ply should do it.
#21: Re: Cant get my drums off Author: olderboy, Location: North LondonPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:51 pm ---- I've had the same problem when the brake friction material separated from the shoe and jammed the brake on. Tried to knock it off with the handbrake slackened off but landed up cracking the lip off the edge of the drum. I had to cut the drum off with an angle grinder ! I cut the 'center' out with the bearing and wheel mounting so I could put the wheel back on to take it off the jack (for safety). Now off to the breakers for a 'new' drum.
