    Unhappy Stuck Brake Drum

     



    I am restoring a 1927 T Bucket that was built in 1970. It is all apart except the driver's side rear brake drum will not come off. The drum turns freely and I have taken the four bolts off that hold the backing plate on, but the darn thing just won't come off. I am told the only thing I can do is heat and beat. Any other ideas? The backing plates and axel housing is off of a 40-ish ford.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Dumb question. Have you backed the shoes off?

    Yes. As I said, the drums turn freely. Thanks for your quick response.

    Ummmmmmmmmmmm....................there's a bit of a problem here. The first 9" was made in '57, you stated you have a '40ish axle housing. Two VERY different set ups on the drum mounting. Better get it straight before you do the hot wrench thing.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
