hahhha yea hand brake on...lmao

only peeople skilled in the art of breaking a drum loose with a hammer blow should use that method, last person i saw try that ended up having to replace 2 studs was funny at the time. jacking bolts for beginers

love taps would be the order of the day

if I get my hands on wops little black book, we could see some love taps

Turn the adjusters to release the pressure between the shoes and the drum

If the adjusters go tight your turning them the wrong way

Jase, try backing off the adjuster screw first. Sometimes if the linings in the drum are worn, the shoes sit in a grove and prevent the drum from being removed. Be very careful with the jacking bolts. Hilux drums have only a couple of mm material thickness which the thread is tapped into. The thread is a M8x 1.25 so that means there is only two or at the most 3 threads to apply pressure from the jack bolts. The threads strip very easily (this I know from experience).

Good luck

Jase.

I had one that was so ####### stuck, completely unadjusted, spigot cleaned up, it still stripped both jacking threads, wouldnt budge with a hammer. ended up welding a couple of bigger bolts onto it and using a puller pushing on the center spigopt to get it off. sometimes they're just an asshole.

or do what i do which is when ya brakes no longer work .....get another truck it was cheaper?????????

lol well it's alldone now.

I used two jacking bolt's and instead of threading them in, i got some plyers and a thin peice of wood and used the plyers as a lever on one of the studs. it worked a treat haha.

it was allsweet after that..

stick disc's on like i have and have no more problems

i will oneday....

if some one could make me up the mounts for the callipers ill be strait into it!:D

thats sorta what i did with my old surf, my hand brake was always pretty average, did a lsd swap, but a total drum to drum swap, not just diff head, and hey presto, fixed my handbreak problem...
