AE112R Rear Drum removal.

[MrOizo]

I tried taking the rear drum off my parents AE112R to change the hub with no luck. 

I have managed to get the drum about 3-5mm off, and it it won't move anymore. This was from tightening bots into the 2 holes on the drum for removal.

Thought the hand brake had a little tension on it's shoes to make it sit in a groove inside the drum - loosened off the hand break and still no luck.   

Am I forgetting something here? Am I doing it completely wrong?

can you turn the drum by hand the way it sits? if not it probably needs more loosening. if the shoes are backed off enough i usually find turn while pulling works well. you'll need to adjust the shoes from the back of the drum, rather than at the cable on the lever.

another trick is to get a hammer and tap one side of the drum, while pulling on the other side. rinse and repeat your way around the outside of the drum, it should move a little each time.

thanks for the reply..

I did try this - I remember with my supra the handbrake is adjusted by putting a screw driver in a access hole and screwing the cog one way or the other.

I will try hitting as pulling and see where I get with that.

Cheers.

Is it really rusty around the spigot?
I try and remember to give it a clean up with emery tape and a squirt of wd40 before pullnig them off.
Usually I forget and have to tap it back on and then do it

I cant get the drum off a taper that must be there to centre the drum.
Once off that its pretty free/wobbly till i go further and it fouls on something which makes the drum not move until its pushed back on to the taper - the further it comes to being off, the harder it gets stuck on there!
Make sense?

[Mr Revhead]

no.


sounds like your have worn drums and the shoes are catching on the unworn edge. Back em off more!
