 obviously you won't get the drum that is locked up off because it is, well=
, locked up.=C2=A0 The one that rotates freely doesn't need to come off.=C2=
=A0=20
Try backing off the adjuster on the side that is locked up.=C2=A0 if you ca=
n back off the adjuster it may release the drum and you can then, maybe, pu=
ll it off.=C2=A0=20

Good luck.

Thanks for that Jerry.

I=E2=80=99d forgotten that the square fitting was on the back!

Loosened that (with the proper wrench) and the drums came right off.

All I can see untoward is a bit of dust that I=E2=80=99ll vacuum off =
tomorrow morning.

Other than that it=E2=80=99s still puzzling why it locked up.

This is a typical problem with drum brakes, especially if they are worn and=
/or have sat around a long time.  Usually caused by a "lip" on the outer ed=
ge of the drum surface that is hanging up on the brake shows as you try to =
pull it free.

  1.  Be sure that the adjusters are all the way retracted (see the service=
 manual for how they work).
  2.  Remove the brake lines from the brake cylinders from the rear of the =
backing plate, or at the feed hose to be sure there is no residual pressure=
 trapped in the line or cylinder.
  3.  You must get the locked up side free or it will never come off.  Try =
to get it rotating.
  4.  Also take the emergency brake cable off both sides and be sure it's n=
ot that system which has the shoes locked.
  5.  I think you can take the hydraulic cylinder loose from the back side =
of the backing plate.  That would free up the upper part of both shoes.
  6.  The shoes are held to the backing plate by two little "nails" that in=
sert from the back of the backing plate, go through a spring and then lock =
with a cup inside the drum.  You can grind off the "head" of the "nails" fr=
om the back of the backing plate, thereby further freeing up the shoes.
  7.  Bottom line is that you need to get the shoes retracted (and unstuck)=
 from the drum to get them off.
  8.  If all else fails, go to AutoZone and borrow the biggest three arm pu=
ller they have.

Hi folks,
I got the car jacked up and the back wheels off.
Now I'm looking at the back brakes.
The driver's side drum is locked up; the passenger side I can rotate.
I can't get either drum off, despite banging on them with a rubber mallet.
(I've taken out the 2 flat screws)
Any ideas?
Cheers

Assure there is free play at the pedal. Rusted/corroded wheel cylinder 
piston. Shoes not centered in drum. Shoes not parallel to drum surface 
(canted). rear flex line collapsing internally and not releasing 
pressure, E-brake adjustment,  all sorts of reasons..

Open the bleeder valves, try a little heat, keep pounding. =20
Use some liquid wrench or PB blaster, it is a snug fit with the drum on the s=
tuds.=20

On the rear gently pry around the edges to work it off.=20

Last night I saw upon the stair,
A little man who wasn't there,
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away.... Mearns

Hi folks,
I got the car jacked up and the back wheels off.
Now I=E2=80=99m looking at the back brakes.
The driver=E2=80=99s side drum is locked up; the passenger side I can rotate=
.
I can=E2=80=99t get either drum off, despite banging on them with a rubber m=
allet.
(I=E2=80=99ve taken out the 2 flat screws)
Any ideas?
Cheers

There is an adjuster on the rear of the backing plate - it takes a square
wrench (or a 12-point socket).  If they are not seized up, see if you can
gently work them out.

Sorry, folks - I see I am way behind on this thread. I replied and shortly
afterwards had a dump of about 20 emails, including the one which said the
drums were off.
