Locked drum brakes

[Jsupreme]

I have a Dana 60 in the rear, it's frozen up good. I think the brakes are frozen to the drums or something. How do I go about removing the drum? Just a really big hammer?

Did you remove the axle before attempting to pull off the brake drum? Here is an excellent thread on this:

Yes sir! But that drum is locked on tight.

Here is another thread, where he has an F250 and he loosened up the adjusting star etc: http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... =5&t=76074

Hope this helps! Let us know what works for you.

Well I finally got them off. 6 hours worth. Pads were rusted to inner drums. The adjustment wheel on both sides was frozen. So I took out the brake cylinder and punched it out from the back. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the help !!

I never would have thought to unbolt the wheel cylinder! Thanks!
