    drum removal

    Thank you Ryan Exactly what they did where I took mine. A claw hammer is to light. A small sledge does the trick. He hit it hard around the outsides, then hit the inner center till it came loose. He hit each one about 6 - 8 times. I had another 10,000 miles on the shoes...

    Completed Repair This should be my last post for this thread. The truck is back slightly faster than expected. I drove it last night to a SCUBA Club meeting. The faster behind me this is the better. There is a significant wonderful difference after the repair. I was missing a lot with the...
