Re: [Chrysler300] 64 K drums... removal - reply

[Gary Nelson <garythepartsdoc@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

I will jump in here as I ran into the hardest drum to pull that anyone 
could find.
Tension and heat are the winning combo to get a stubborn drum off. One 
thing that is most over looked is to liberally grease the threads of the 
tension bolt before you start. If you don't you will be defeating your 
efforts as the threads will be galling and not adding tension. Tighten and 
hit, tighten and hit. If it does not come loose after a couple of tries 
then you must heat it up. The one I refer to I stood on a 24" adjustable 
wrench and still had to heat the hub to the point in just started to get 
red. Then it popped off.
