Hi All, Just joined the forum. I have a 96 Fairway, have replaced the front caliper seals and pads which was fairly simple to do. I need to now replace the rear brake shoes but cannot get either brake drum to come off! Have undone the countersunk screw but drum will not move. Have I missed anything! Many thanks |

If its anything like the ones I have done the problem is rust on the inside of the drum, just keep walloping it with a hammer it will loosen up eventually. |

slacken off the adjusters on the back, either with a spanner or a screwdriver through the hole, and hit the drums with a hammer |

Hi, Many thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated. Going to have another go later today!! Is there anywhere on a Fairway that doesn't suffer from rust!? |

Looking through the small hole on the back plate, you can reset the adjuster ratchet thing. The drum should then just slide off. That's how I changed my drums. Don't hit a drum even with a mallet because you could make it go oval. When I got my cab and after cutting out all the rust and welding in new metal, I sprayed over a gallon of waxoyl under the body and in all the voids... That shoud help |

Rent or Borrow a Drum puller tool, It beats Fecking up the Drum or Incinerating Cylinder seals through using Heat. |

I've seen drums crack when hammered off. |
