Rear Drums
Okay, went to bleed the brakes since I had very little pedal, and mushy at that. Broke the bleeder screw off on a rear drum since it was rusted on there. Took the wheels off, trying to get the drums off to replace the wheel cylinders, and the #$!@ drums won't come off.
Anyone have any special tricks to get drums off? It's on a '71 1/2 ton, don't know the axle right off hand, but it's the original one. I punched out the adjusting hole, seems that the springs and self adjuster are laying in the bottom of the drum, and the shoes are floating loose. I can flex the outside rim of the drums forward, and see the drum move on the lug studs, but the center is stuck and won't move. Any suggestion short of a nuclear device will be considered!  Scott
