I have a 91 Accord LX that I can't get the rear brake drums off of. What's thebest tool to use or the best way to get these off? I do have the e-brake released. Thanks

 

A rubber mallet and time haha. The drum is most likely bonded to the hub, the only thing I've had success with is just smacking it until Im pissed off and tired and then it magically comes off.

 

PB Blaster. Spray & let it sit for a few hours.

Find a couple bolts that fit into the threaded holes in-between the wheel studs. (M6 or M8?) They jack against the hub, which presses the drum off.

 

Thanks guys, I smacked them around quite a bit but neither worked loose. I did screw in a couple of M8 bolts. I wasgoing to tryto use a harmonic balancer puller with them but the diameter of thepullerwasn't wide enough, needs to be at least 5" due to the 5" spread of the two bolt holes on the drum. I didn't realize that these two bolt holes were used as a built in press. I will turn the bolts all the way down to press the drums off and will let you know if I was successful. Again thanks for your assistance!

 

I've found that pounding on the edge of the drum (not too hard but firmly w/ 3-lb hammer) after applying PB Blaster or similar will eventually release the rust lock. If brake shoes are holding the drum in place, it is necessary to manually loosen the brakes to get the drums free.

good luck

 

PB Blaster, alittle tapping, and M8 bolts did the trick! Thanks everyone!
