How do i remove them to replace the pads? already did the fronts but the rears do not seem to come off like other drums ive worked on . Is their something else im missing. The drum doesn't want to just slide off the studsis it clipped to the axle or is it just stuck? its a 4x2 2 wheel abs which means 9x 1/34 drums and no abs in front. Thanks
Get out the BFH! Losen the adjusted from the backside if you can and then hit the face of the drum with a hammer. Do this all over the surface until it pops loose. Just be careful not to hit any of the studs. No sissy swings either. If that doesn't work on it's own, you may need to combine it with some penetrating oil or heat. Even though I've done it, I don't recomend prying between the drum and backing plate because you usually bend the backing plate.
