nacitar Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Maybe it's the emergency brake? I'm not trying to replace this drum right now, just trying to roll the car around the shop/driveway (it doesn't run). Any ideas how to break it free? It won't even move at all. The other wheels spin freely. I've never messed with drum brakes before (and didn't plan to do it today either!) And just need this thing to roll. Ideas? A perfunctory search didn't seem to have an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Ya gotta turn this wheel to loosen the shoes and hope they haven't rusted/bonded to the drums. Page 12 and 13 - http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/280z/1976/BR.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Actually that last instruction isn't much good of the drum doesn't turn. Peel the rubber boot off the backing plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
