Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / April 2006changing drums on a 200 blazer
Hi guys i read some of the posts and realise there is some very good advice here. I have a 2000 chev Bazer and cannot for the life of me get the discs off. They are drum like to accomodate for the parking brake but i see no screw holding them on. I am looking for tips to get them off. I have removed the brakes and parking brake cable so far.... Any help would be grealy appreciated guys and please keep the " contact a profesional" crap to yourselves.... if i was that smart i wouldnt have taken on the job lol :) Well we on the forum not knowing the extent of your mechanical knowledge/ability might at some point say that. Now to the issue at hand, I assume the caliper mount bracket is off? The rotor could be stuck either on the parking brake shoes and/or frozen to the hub, try hitting the rotor around where it mounts to the hub first. > Hi guys i read some of the posts and realise there is some very good > advice here.

I tried banging the hell outta it but it won't budge my fear is that its stuck in a groove frome the parking break :( If the rotor is going to be replaced, keep hitting it from the rear, could be a lip from the brake shoes, does it move on the hub? > Is there anything that would be holding it on like a bolt or should it > ride freely?

Stuck on the hub, soak them where the rotor mounts on the hub may be for a couple of hours with PB blaster or some type of rust penetrant. hit the rotor sideways at the "hat" area, where the parking brake shoes are inside till there is some lateral looseness. > it doesnt seem to budge at all i have whacked it fairly forcefully but > it doesnt seem to move > maybe more force and violence? thanks i will try that tomorrow. I have some 3 in one and break dust remover i'll try that stuff and a hammer :P Thanks again guys for the advice. As long as its suposed to come off then i will hopefully get it off That stuff won't work, you need real rust penetant such as PB blaster. > thanks i will try that tomorrow.

As long as its suposed to come off > then i will hopefully get it off Thanks Shep i got them off with alot of oil and a good sledge hammer :s The new ones are on with new pads and man whata difference. Thanks again. I had some other penetrant some 3 digit blueish stuff a friend brought over.
