scattleberry Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'm trying to remove brake drums on a 78 corolla. The manual says to remove the "drum securing screws" after backing off the manual adjusting star, but I can't find these screws anywhere. I notice some tapped holes in the face of the drum. Should I insert the proper size nut into these threads, and use the nut to remove the drum? Any advice greatly appreciated. cheers, chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would get some strong bolts so they won't snap in the holes since most drums are really stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
