How to paint DRUM BRAKES?

king.0c · 4 Weeks Ago

Hey guys i want to paint the rear drum brakes of my 2001 honda civic. I know some people leave them on the axle and just paint but i want to remove the entire drum brake off and sand it down and paint. I have being looking at threads and i see when you remove the bolts you take the first piece of the drum. How can i just take the entire drum off for paint?

Thank you

if you want to remove it, i think its pretty easy. take wheel off, then the drum cover comes out. if its stuck, there are a couple places in the front you can thread bolts in to gradually push it off. be sure to use the right size bolts. when the cover is off, do not press the brakes at all or you will be screwed.
