snowhound 103 #1 Posted September 10, 2018 I have a 414-8 that I am trying to get the brake drum off of but it isn't budging. I've been spraying it with PB Blaster and have a puller on it. Has anyone else had a problem removing a brake drum? Ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,512 #2 Posted September 10, 2018 Let me start with the obvious question, you have removed the snap ring, right? After removing the snap ring you should use a file to take all the rust and accumulated stuff off the shaft. I have found a pair of pickle forks works well to remove the brake drum. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowhound 103 #3 Posted September 10, 2018 thanks for the reply, I didn't see a snap ring there was a bolt and washer that was on the end of the shaft that I did remove. I will double check on the snap ring and try the pickle fork. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 10,708 #4 Posted September 10, 2018 I fought with the brake drum on my 854 for over a month before I was finally able to get it off. It was a stinker to put it mildly. And I tried everything I could think of to get the dang thing off. Heat, soaking, pullers. I finally ended up with a couple of spud bars and a lot of prying. But I won, because it was a battle. Good luck with yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowhound 103 #5 Posted September 10, 2018 Thanks, I'll try that. I didn't realize how lucky I was when I pulled the one on my 416-8, it came off with the help of two screwdrivers.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
