how do i get the drum "cap" off so that i can access the inside of the brake? FYI i have a 95 honda civic.
essentially i plan on replacing the cylinders, as i think they have siezed, and bleeding the rears. (the fronts got bled)

 

make sure you're E-Brake isn't on

Get a couple of bolts that have the same thread and are the right size for the little threaded holes in the face of the drum

Work those bolts in, alternating between the two of them until you can pull the drum off the hub.

It's off!

that's it man..
hih

 

Learned something new today:bigok:

 

Damn thanks a lot. I was having so much trouble getting the rear drums off. Let me try the screw way you said. Thanks

 

wow that would have been useful for me. we hang to bang mine around to get them off

 

:rofl::naughty: .............

 

i just tried it. It doesn't work. Is there any other way to do this.. I've hit it with a hammer and tried pulling it but it will not come out.

 

holy back form the dead.

get a big flatblade screwdriver and wedge the damn thing out. worked fror me

 

:fawk:

are you talking about the grease cap? or the actual brake housing (whatever its called)

 

its all good:cheers:
