#1: Why will my brake drum not come off? Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 5:59 pm ---- I failed at ggetting my drum off today. Was trying to inspect the shoes because I am getting a metal to metal noise and the front pads are fine.
I took the nut off and the washer. Then I gave it a tug. It should have just slid off but nooooo.
I thought maybe the brakes were binding slightly so I slackened off the handbrake to no avail. I tried to hammer and chisel it off but again nothing. I also put 2 wheel nuts in and tried to pull it but it didn't budge.

Left to right, up down etc
That sometimes does the trick

To be fair I was giving it some big hits with the hammer from the back of the drum and it didn't seem to more at all. loads of rust fell off though
