So here is the problem, A late 1984 series 3 SWB, I can remove the rear brake drums by about 1 cm and then they catch solidly although spring back slightly, they both spin although one was binding badly and the MOT had them down to 10% efficiency. I suspect the problem is they have worn a grove and are now catching. Is there a way to get around this and to remove the drum? Can I put a lever in to try and force the pads back over the lip.
But lastly and most importantly can any please tell me DEFINITAVLEY what the size the bolt is that goes in to assist removal. I now have 2 opinions/ opinions ; 5/16 NC and 3/8 NC both of with are difficult to find and to purchase individually and not bulk. Any help or words of wisdom gratefully received.
