HEY GUYS IF ANYONE GETS ON HERE IN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES PLEASE RESPOND. I NEED TO BE SOME WHERE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS AND I CANT NOT GET THE DRUM CASINGS OFF. THE E-BRAKE IS OFF AND THEY FREE ROLL. IM CONFUSED

Tried tapping with a BFH? Sometimes you have that little ridge inside and you need to tap around the outside edge to knock it loose and I assume you mean the brake drum????????????????

What about the self adjusters. Most vehicles I have worked on required me to remove a rubber plug on the back of the brakes and loosen the self adjusters so the brakes shoes would clear the untouched ridge on the innermost part of the drum. Usually required two screwdrivers. One to push a locking bar (release) the other to rotate the adjusting star wheel. Hope this helps.

Yep if you have ran them a long time and worn the shoes out then you will need to run the adjusters back in, on a properly set up drum brake system you should be able to pull them ( the drums) off at any time without doing the adjusters though.

This is more than likely what you're going to have to do. Tap first one edge, then the other to rock it loose.

Get a bigger hammer.

wallop the hell out of those drums. you're not gonna hurt 'em.

yeah bro you sooo right. i used a 10lb sledge hammer and an 8ft 2x2 (1 1/2x 1 1/2) and beat those sensored word from the other side. and what do you know they came off. but everyones advise is like, um i dunno, a 1/2 day too darn late, but thanksa for the unnessecary help that didnt help me wwhen i asked for it. but hey its cool. i kno that everyone is not on the forum all the time. but for the people that i called, eat a big fat bag of man loins....

Nice of you to say that, when Tom told you what you needed to do 40 minutes after you posted. Yep, half a day, for SURE!

You're kind of a Richard, ya know?

yea i didnt get that and i apologize to TOM on that matter, its just i soooo frustrated for that fact they didnt come off and did not have any help cuz no one around me has a KJ thats on here. and if they did have one, they wouldnt help me out. but yes, i did go off of TOM's advise you jackass, it was just on there so darn tight, that it took me that long to get them off. no about what you're talking about before you open your mouth.


oh and BTW, TOM thanks for the advise bro. all these KJ owners that think they are "knowledgeale" on this doo doo is pathetic

Well first of all this statement(the first response)..............

Was all you needed,not much use posting the same answer 50 times.


It seems your lack of maintance and knowledge is your own problem and please do not take it out on others.

the lack of knowledge and maintnance is not a prob, due to the fact that i dont always have to do it like others.

dont harp on me, i was just looking for help. and yes TOM did anser faster then anyone that i thought would. but my comp crashed and it would not load the page that i had posted on. maybe i should of said that.

Remember that EVERY KJ from '03-07 has DISKS on the rear, and, for a lot of our members, the first vehicle they ever owned and worked on is their KJ, so a LOT I'm betting don't know how to do drums.

prob so, but its down and over with, so let it go

this thread is over

MIKE please lock this
