Default Stuck Brake Drum
So I just bought a 14 bolt full floater for my k5...the problem is that the left side shoes are stuck out and holding the drum from turning. Whats the best way to remove the drum while the shoes are holding it?

you could try backing off the adjuster, see if that works

X2 for maxxman. I cant remember, but on some drums there are 2 holes oppisite of each other, put bolts in em, and get to crankin them, the drum should pop off.
If it has those holes...

I'l attempt to describe the two holes better, you can see 'em as your looking at the drum, the adjuster is in the back.
