Rear Drums on 72 c20
Other than a drill, what is the proven method for breaking free the keeper screws on the drums? I have very short attention and patience but so far resisted getting the drill out.

I use one of those hammer-driven impact tools.

Re: Rear Drums on 72 c20
On really stuck bolts and screws I turn to heat when situation allows it. Break out the acetylene/oxygen torch, heat head of fastener until red hot and then screw it out.

Re: Rear Drums on 72 c20
Thank you. Tool ordered.
I don't have a torch. MAPP gas is as hot as things get around here. Let's hope the tool does it. |

Re: Rear Drums on 72 c20
I've had some success w/a propane torch and a spray bottle of ATF.
I've had some success w/a propane torch and beeswax. In my case(smile), I've got more time than $'s...Don. |

Mapp Gas is better than nothing. Heat those baby's up and let them cool for a minute or two before using your new tool.... That will break any rust bond between the screw threads and the drums LockDoc
