Bolt to remove drums
My friend showed me a technique to remove the rear drums with two bolts.
Does anybody know what size bolt I need to remove these drums. I tried on my last oil change to remove the drums by pulling on them, and I could not take them off.
btw, yes the parking brake was off. I may be weak, but not that dumb..lol.
Thanks, Phu.

I think they are 10mm bolts.. but I used a rubber mallet and hit the drums to pop them off due to rust etc.. works rather good

I need another number. Bolt size have 2 numbers. I don't know what they mean, but I know they have 2 numbers.

Sorry, I can't make a visual picture of what this looks like in my head.

The step thats often missed is RELEASE THE E-BRAKE. If you try to pull the drum with the e-brake on, it'll never come off.
Once the e-brake is off, you can probably just whack it with a mallet (a rubber one) and it should pop loose.

Rep Power: 0 The bolt I used to take them off was the bottom bolt for the heatshield on the header. (From my EX model). As long as a 12mm socket will fit the head of the bolt, it will work!

I gave up after it didn't budge after 5 mins...lol. I'll try this bolt technique though.
Thanks again everyone.
