Default Re: brake drums

If it is stuck on the hub just use a drum puller... lots os times it the shoes that wear into the drum leaving a ridge on the back lip which is catching... often adjustment will relieve it enough to release the shoe but when it won't disconnect the brake cables and tap the lever to the rear of the cart.... sill won't let go grind the head of the spring keeper off of the back side and let the shoes fold together as you pull the drum. The shoe problem is usually indicated by a drum that will move an 8th or so but won't come off. Stuck hub ain't moving at all. Hope this helps somebody
