Mike Dube Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Ok folks, I have a wire wheel 8-100, whose rear brake drums are reluctant to come off, or I don't know the combination! The wheels and axle nuts are off, and I have tried a gear puller. Rust is not a factor that I can tell. Do I need to mumble the proper incantation or? <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />Thanks,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dube Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 Well, if anybody cares, I finally got the drums off with a Posi-Lock 10 ton gear puller. I used a friend, a 3 foot cheater, and a 3/4 drive breaker bar. We put the nut back on loose with a large washer behind it, and we started cranking....and cranking....then we cranked some more. Finally it popped, sounding like a 45 being fired. That Posi-Lock wasn't cheap, but it did do the job safely. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Miller Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Well, Glad you solved your problem! Would have given you some advice but since I don't know anything about 8-100 brakes it would have been wrong HA! Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
