Hudson rear brake stuck

Unknown

Good Morning,



I have a 1951 Hudson Super 6 and have a stuck left rear brake. I need tomove the car and have limited space so cannot move it to the rear. Can anyone tell me how to remove the rear drum as my Hudson Repair Manual is in Florida and I am in Ohio.



Thanks

Make it easy on yourself. Remove the big nut on the back of the backer plate and don't lose the square washer. That will let the anchor pin come off with the frozen shoes, drum etc.



Use the 3-jaw puller and don't bang on the end of it! Bang on the rotating wrench where you're s'pose to. The little retainer pins will break but you should use new ones anyway.



Use a little heat on the hub if you have to.



You'll wind up with hub, shoes etc on the ground where you can loosen the adjuster with vice grips and get the whole thing apart.
