Hi Everyone,,

I am trying to change my rear brakes on my 97 T100. It is my first time. Not sure how to get the drums off. I tried PB Blaster and threading screws thru the front to pry off. Is this the correct method? I appreciate and suggestions or feedback.

The drum frequently gets stuck to the axle hub due to rust, banging heat and penetrant are the answer.

Unless the shoes are too tight and creating the problem.

Also make sure the e-brake isn't stuck on. Sometime the linkage in the backing plate freezes up and won't release.
