i really need to replace the drums on my car and have all the parts, the only thing stopping me is the part of taking off the drum!! i've banged on it with a hammer but no luck.

any one know how i would?

 

23 veiws and no reply!!!

come on i really need help with this!!

 

on the face of the drum where the wheel sits... is there any small threaded holes, probably 10mm?

If so, use those to push the drum away from the hub.

There should probably also be an access hole to adjust the shoes, you can adjust them in (away from the drum) to release the pressure of the shoes on the drum. This should help in removing the drum. I don't have my manual with me so I can't tell you for sure but this is something that is usually available on drum brakes. When I did the rear drums on my Civic I didn't bother with that and just used the threaded holes to push the drum away from the hub, that worked fine for me.

Also, may be a stupid suggestion but make sure the e-brake isn't pulled.
