Hi guys,
I had a really hard time removing the old brake drums from our '02 Sienna. Tried tapping them gently with a rubber mallet; nothing. Ok, tried banging on it with my 3-pound hammer. Still nothing. Finally found this site:
The new drums I bought from CarQuest don't have these 8mm holes for a bolt, though. So, in the future, if I need to replace them, how should I go about doing so? Is banging away on the drums with a 3-lb hammer really the way to do it?
I usually like to get stuff from CarQuest because they seem to be pretty good in quality, for the price. Although, in retrospect, rear brake drums may have been something I should have gone to the dealership for...?
Thanks!
Michael
