I am changing the rear brake shoes on my son's 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup which has 13" wheels. I spent an hour today trying to remove the brake drum with no luck. I know there is a slot on the rear for the star for the brake adjuster. However, I turn it one way and strong get resistance and another way it seems to turn and spring back. I wonder if anyone has any tips or tricks for removing the rear brake drums. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Bill
