Title: What is the best way to break a drum free?
Post by: trent17 on 2011-08-04 08:55
The car sat on the ground for ten years and the brakes are lock tight. All I know to do is beat the H   E   double  L out of it until the brake pad crumbles. Before I attempt this procedure does anybody know a trick to that?

Heat the drums with a cutting torch, but after that long,you might have to cut them off with the torch and replace them.also the rear will be stuck ,the center of the brake drum around the axle hub. hope this helps Tom
