There should be a couple of 10mm hex heads there that hold the drums on. After removing them a good whack with a rubber hammer will normally get them loose if you got the emergency brakes off. Then there are the times when the drums are sort' a frozen to the hub and more of that hammer action is necessary. Stan

Hey Y'all (I'm allowed to say y'all) Time for another..... "Stupid Question of the Day!" (SQD, pat. pend.)
How do I pull the rear drums? Tried tapping (OK, hammering) from all sides to no avail. I don't have to remove that huge 462mm nut just to get the drums off, do I? --tabe johnson xtabe@yahoo.com
