brags

today I rotated my tires front to back and vise versa got the better
ones up front for better traction in snow but as I took off the back wheel
I tried taking the brake drum off to adjust the rear brakes since iam right there I noticed my brake drums on both sides were stuck on. parking brake
was released.

so for now I left them I will takle the job in warmer weather but what
should I do as far as spreying penetrating oil around the studs and hammering on the drum to break the rust goes.?

ezone

Use the threaded holes as they were intended?

brags

what size is the bolt that threads in the drum?

ezone

8mm, same as the threaded holes in the original rotors
I think thread pitch is 1.25....

pick just about any bolt on the car that takes a 12mm wrench (except caliper hardware) and it should fit.

brags

great pick and quick feedback from ezone...!
oh.. by the way. I only seen one hole on the drum for a bolt to screw in
unlike the drum in the pick you shown. does this mean there not Honda drums.?
just asking because I wouldn't know since I bought the vehicle used.?

ezone

Dude, that's a random pic from GIS. I have no idea what it's from.

It's only an example, not the Gospel!




I was assuming the hole on an 8th is 8mm..... My 2012 has like 10mm threaded holes in them.

My last 2 Civics the drums will pull right off......my Corollas never would.

I just let the system adjust them.
