#15059, "Changing rear Drum Brakes"


          

I was changing well trying to change the rear brakes in my car but the drums are near impossible to get out. So i noticed they have given some holes in the drum itself which you can stick some bolts in which then push on the inner section of the brake itself and push the drum out. The problem is i don't know what size bolt would fit.

Even the chiltons manual I have mentions this but they don't tell you what size bolt works, and the guys at pep boys weren't much help either, they gave me 2 sets of bolts that didn't work.

Does anyone know what size those bolts are and if so where you got em.

Also if someone knows an easier way of removing the drums let me know.

make sure you don't have the parking brake on or they will never come off. usually if you hit the side of the drum a few times with a rubber mallet it'll pop right off.
