Hi, I've been trying to remove my nearside 3 stud rear brake drum. I've slackened the handbrake cable after removing the heat shield. I've removed the dust cover on the drum and the the washer. The drum spins, there a small amount of resistance.
I've searched for a ratchet to loosen the brakes further by looking through the wheel stud holes, but can't find anything there.
I have put the wheel on and banged from behind it but still zero movement at all.
Should I keep banging, or could there be anything still holding it on?
Could the wheel bearing be rusted on to spindle and it just need to be welted enough to free it. The circlip inside the wheel bearing holding it onto the drum could that be holding it at all?
I can't see it being the brake shoes holding it, because there is no movement at all.
I've been working on ot for 2 days now, any suggestions?
Pics attached,
Thanks
