XLT 13 #1 Posted August 23, 2019 I don't see a snap ring, but my puller isn't working... Is there supposed to be a snap ring on the brake drum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,370 #2 Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Was there a bolt in the end of the drum shaft? If so there shouldn't be a snap ring that I'm aware of. No bolt? Yes ring... Edited August 23, 2019 by ebinmaine Added correction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,096 #3 Posted August 23, 2019 Item 42 is a retaining ring shown at the end of 207 brake shaft. Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does the drum move even the least bit on the shaft? Or is it completely Frozen in place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,792 #6 Posted August 23, 2019 Could be the snap ring is gone, but there is enough rust build up to prevent it from coming off. Tap on the drum to get it onto the shaft as far as it will go then file off the rust accumulation as best you can. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XLT 13 #7 Posted August 23, 2019 Doesn't seem to move at all... and I have been trying a 3 jaw puller on it... Been soaking it in PB blaster... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,792 #8 Posted August 23, 2019 A ball joint pickle fork may get ti moving for you. You can probably borrow or rent one at some of the auto parts stores. I have done this on a few with good results. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,370 #9 Posted August 23, 2019 If you have access to it, lots of heat will be your friend as well. I'm a ruffle some feathers with this and I don't mean to but I am not a fan of PB blaster. Good old-fashioned $6 a can Liquid Wrench has been very very successful with me but there are also some other ones such as Kroil and I haven't tried it but Richard likes paraffin wax from a candle. To free that thing up you may be able to take a small punch and punch in circles around the outside of where the drum is on the shaft. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,866 #11 Posted August 23, 2019 Sounds like you got the drum off, if you are now trying to separate the case halves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,792 #20 Posted August 24, 2019 Penetrating oil soak, small cold chisel at the base of the key and it should roll out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,370 #21 Posted August 24, 2019 I've been able to convince a round bottomed key to move by using a hammer and small punch or chisel to hit the ends and make it rock back and forth some. Then do as Richard said just above. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XLT 13 #23 Posted August 24, 2019 Concerned it will shear off flush with the axle and then I'll have a bigger problem. Will keep soaking it.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
