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. |

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. |
