#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.

#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.

#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
