('99 Cavalier, emergency brake doesn't hold (req'd for NYS inspection). Backing up to stroke the adjuster doesn't seem to be going anywhere.)
The drums are really rusted (?) onto the hubs. The best method I've found is to apply major heat and rap it with a hammer. Over and over and over. Well, and swear at it. Is there a better way? How do they do these in a shop?
On more or less the same subject, is there anything I could put on the mating surfaces so it doesn't freeze up in the future? I was thinking maybe graphite, or anti-seize, or magic dust.
(Even the wheel is a PITA to get off, without heat. Sometimes, it seems like GM must have a guy who job is to make their cars hard to work on.)
TIA, George
