Removing brake drums

Mar 04, 2008 5 Replies

Hi,



I am trying to get the drums off our Fiat Multipla.



Should brute force do it? Or I believe there is an adjustment screw.



I will go and tug a bit more but in the meantime any input appreciated.

I once worked for quite a while at trying to get a drum off until I remembered the self adjusters...

I had the devil of a job getting off an alfa drum once, the lining had detached and jammed the drum absolutely solid, locking the wheel, it literally took hours and hours.

More than 10 minutes and it's out with the angle grinder.

I would nowadays, this was 35 years ago !! I don't even remember angle grinders being available at a reasonable price then, mind you I did have oxy acetylene !!
