Default Re: brake drum removal

Sometimes there will be a ridge of hardened grease and grime that the shoes will not clear. Try taking a torch to warm the outer edge of the drum to soften it. Take your time and pass that flame around and around and around the outer circumference to heat an loosen it. It may take some time and will get a bit smoky.
