Re: Honda Accord to release a stuck drum
sometimes you can find a bolt either in the front brakes or the rear drum areas that will be the same size that you need to thread into the drum so just go pulling off bolts and test them
otherwise they are 8 x 1.25 mm
something to keep in mind is that if the drum is severely worn and has a lip inside it then you will need to loosen up the shoes to get the drums off or you will bend the bracket that holds the shoes because the shoes will be behind the lip of the drum...if you need to loosen the shoes, remove the rubber plug and you will need to turn the star wheel inside the drum downwards to turn the shoes inward to release the drum
so just barely crank the bolts and see if it's getting past the rust, if it is and it's still binding then it's binding on the shoes, let the bolts off and turn the star wheel downward...otherwise if the drum comes then don't worry about it
