Item Subject: Text_1 Hi All, Well, my '85 Westy is making some strange metallic squealing noises out of the rear brakes when they are cold. I want to check them so I consulted the Bentley Manual for the disassembly procedure. Bentley shows a special tool that looks like a gear puller to remove the rear drums. Is there an easy & safe way to remove the rear drums without this tool? Could you use a standard gear puller (not that I have one of these either but I am more willing to buy this tool)? Any tips or tricks to pull the rear drums would be apperciated. TIA Vince. '85 GL Westy '90 Mit. Eclipse GSX
