Location: Okeechobee FL | Hello all!
I have a rig that's been sitting for quite awhile, I can't get the front wheels to break free. I also can't get the drums off the front. Any ideas? Tips?

With the wheels off, try using a plastic or hard rubber weighted mallet to go around and around the brake drum hitting it to try and break them free. Do NOT use a metal mallet as it may crack the drum. Others may have a better solution. |
