AHS 1,675 #1 Posted 14 hours ago The seal is bad behind the brake drum. How to get this off…. Take off the brake pad. Clean it!! And what else, a puller? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 2,074 #2 Posted 12 hours ago Yes, but that might not be an issue by the looks of it. It might come off without too much of a fight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 11,919 #3 Posted 3 hours ago Once you get that accumulation of oiled up crud off, it's the 2 small 1/4" screws to remove the brake band and the one 3/8-16 hexscrew with the 9/16" head that holds the drum onto the shaft. The shaft and drum have the straight double D shape - no puller needed. Once removed, more cleaning!! I like to drill a 1/16" diameter hole in the metal portion of the seal (just until the tip breaks thru!!) and install a sheet metal screw that you can use to yank on to remove. A short length of 3/4" pvc makes a decent driver to install the new seal. Use cellophane tape on the ends of the flats to prevent tearing the new seal... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
