Default can't get rear brake cover off...

I'm trying to take my rear brake covers off... please help I can't get them off. I feel like an idiot... I can do motor swaps but can't get a damn brake cover off. What's wrong with that picture?!!?

TIA

Are you talking about rear drums? if so then make sure there's not any screws holding the drum on then smack it with a hammer on the face until it's loose. Make sure the ebrake isn't on.

if that does not work find two small bolt and screw them into the holes on the drum. that should push it out.

Yeah take a hammer and pound the hell out of it. As you pound the drum rotate it and pound it again....

well first of all make sure that the **E brake is off

the just hammer hard all around the drum

that take a thick chisel and place it on the inner end of the drum and hammer out wards....that always does it.. make sure to band all around before you get to the chisel part

hope i helped.

I say this is the best answer if this doesnt work then hammer away.

make sure you twist the screws in at the same pace otherwise you'll still have trouble taking it off.

Same, works like a charm. A hammer or chisel/screwdriver didnt do anything other than chew a little bit of the drum.
