Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / June 2005205 rear drum - won't budge!!
any one idea's on how to get rear drum off, got n/s off ok, but o/s won't budge, heard some trick about sticking a scre-driver through one of the 4 nut-holes, but can't figure what u need to do? shed any light anyone? > any one idea's on how to get rear drum off, got n/s off ok, but o/s > won't budge, heard some trick about sticking a scre-driver through one > of the 4 nut-holes, but can't figure what u need to do? shed any light > anyone? I heard that trick too, but I could never get it to work. Have you tried levering it off with the wheel still on? That was always a good way to get them off. If that didnt work I used to use a hub puller, which usually just pulled the shoes out with it, breaking the retaining clips, so make sure you have spare ones if you try it! > > any one idea's on how to get rear drum off, got n/s off ok, but o/s > > won't budge, heard some trick about sticking a scre-driver through one [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > pulled the shoes out with it, breaking the retaining clips, so make sure you > have spare ones if you try it! you need a small torch to see through the bolt hole in the drum. rotate the drum until the hole is near the top and look for the auto adjuster toothed wheel, since you have the opposite drum off already you should have an idea where its located. use a smallish flat screwdriver to turn the adjuster wheel and free off the shoes. voila.

All sounds very easy, but I could never get it to work. But then again the delicate method never did work for me. Brute force and ignorance all the way :) > All sounds very easy, but I could never get it to work. But then again > the delicate method never did work for me. Brute force and ignorance all > the way :) Absolutely. The bigger the hammer, the better in my book.

Will probably have mentioned by other wiser folk, but.... 1. make sure handbrake is off (doh!, but you never know) 2. remove brake fluid resovoir cap to allow fluid to flow back in from system 3. apply large hammer vigorously to sides of brake drum (and top and bottom if you're getting in the swing of it) to force shoes back up against pistons 4. attempt removal of drum 5. repeat 3 and 4 until successful! cheers, JB >1. make sure handbrake is off (doh!, but you never know) 1a. Make sure the handbrake is really off. If the handbrake has been badly adjusted in the past, it might not be completely releasing. If the cable is not slack, undo the adjuster until it is. -Mark its not difficult using a screwdriver to release the tensioner, just takes a little practice and patience, it is the correct way to do the job, hammmers will only break the clips and probably damage the shoes. a slide hammer should only be used when the shoes have been released and the bearing is a little tight. if you have more than say 5 clicks on the handbrake then i would assume this is not affecting the removal of the drum as long as it is fully off. steve. > >1. make sure handbrake is off (doh!, but you never know) > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > -Mark > its not difficult using a screwdriver to release the tensioner, just takes a > little practice and patience, it is the correct way to do the job, hammmers [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > > > -Mark he guys, amny thanks for all the help on this one, i've managed to get the hub off by using the wheel and large boots (kicking) method, finally off, broke the barke shoe in doing so, but i'm guesing it must have been coming part anyway and causing the jam. Thanks again, now onto the next thing (rust ahhhhh) Z |
