Okay, we're talking about drums and not rotors, correct?

Some drums have two tapped holes into which you can screw the proper bolt and it will push the drum off.

Before drums started appearing with these "holes", the solution was to loosen the brakes by turning the star wheel adjuster accessed through a slot in the bottom of the back of the wheel. There is a brake tool you can buy at Pep Boys for turning this star wheel. This tool makes it easier than using a screwdriver, but a screwdriver will do.

Some times they get rusted on the hub. Take a torch and go around the center of the drum where it goes over the hub. just enough to expand the metal and the hit it with a hammer and it will pop off.

I have 1972 ford f100 .am trying to remove rear drums
remove brake adjuster plugs from rear of brake back plate. back off brake pads and the drums should slide off. occasionally the drums are groved and rusted so you will need to tap on the drums with a dead blow hammer to help free them up

1995 K3500 rear brake reservoir keeps losing fluid. No sign of a leak yet. Is the rear reservoir for the front brakes or rear brakes? Have front calipers and rear drums. Thanks
Hi, you are right the rear is for the rear,the best thing is to pull both rear wheels off and remove drums that way you are looking at the wheel cylinder and then you will know if that is your problem,some times when they leak you cant see it with out pulling drums off. If no problem there check around master cylinder for leaks and around brake booster inside truck. Then if you still have no sign of fluid take the two nuts off master cylinder and see if leak is in side booster is wet.
If need more info please re post.
Thanks dodge tec

S 10 1997 Chevy Blazer brake locking up
Common cause is the drums and brake shoes need to be replaced. When there no longer within the the specification for the brakes to work properly, the self adjusters will over adjust the brake shoes and you'll have the feeling of the rear drum brakes lock up as the shoes will bind up along the drums. Replace both Shoes and Drums and this can be done on your own will common tools and a simple brake spring tool that you can pick up at Auto Zone or Parts Source and both can give you the step by step instructions to replacing the rear brake system. Good luck and be safe.

Rear end drive gears worn on 95 chevy camaro z 28 causes roaring;grinding noises during operation in all gears ;six speed manual
Make sure it is not just a axle bearing . remove the shaft and rear wheels and brake drums ( if not disc) if disc remove the caliper and rotate the axles listen and feel for roughness.

Brake shoe positioning on -88 K2500
Short shoe goes towards front. Also: check for any contamination on shoes or hardware from either axle seal or wheel cyls. Any contamination will make vehicle pull when brake applied. Technically, if contaminated shoes need replacement but if not heavy, on new shoes I usually just give a light sanding on friction material and the remainder will usually burn off.
