I HATE DRUM BRAKES!

[Mudge]

I can only assume that these brakes haven't been done in years.

my drum worked just fine. I just couldn't get the driver's side drum off. the pass. side came off with a slight tap from a rubber mallet. the drum was frozen with rust

The "toungue" thing was just a joke. I'm sure you guys are truely having difficulty.

im wondering, do you have alum or cast drums on your cars?

mine would pit up, but everytime ive gone down there to pull a drum off one of my z s its only been fifteen minutes at the most to pull off. ive worked on american cars and had some great fun trying to pull of those cast suckers, ive had to use heat and a sawzall more than once, but nothing more than a rubber mallet with the aluminum drums.

my car had cast and i put the aluminum ones one from my old car (had way more meat) when i did my drums,

i pull mine off every couple months or so to spray clean them, the only thing i dont like about drums is that they are enclosed like they are, otherwise im down with them. i have almost everything to do the disc swap, three sets of calipers and eight sets of rotors, but dangit, i rebuilt the whole brake system six months ago and im not doing it again, once i do rear discs i know im gonna upgrade the front, so to stop that from happening and falling into the pit, im gonna keep mine as they are, semi metallic at all four corners, with my ALUMINUM drums, I need at least two per.(gots)

Mine are alum still, I guess it is kind of odd that there would be such a corrision "weld."
