Heat that key really well and as it cools drop a little penetrating oil on the ends. Cool.... Tap each end a little to rock it. Repeat procedure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XLT 13 #32 Posted August 28, 2019 Basic problem with the brake drum was the width of drum was causing the arms to wedge themselves out from under it.... I rednecked 3 small bar clamps on there... quite an operation. That got them to tighten up before pulling out from under the drum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
