Well MOT time came around for my 110CSW I bought six months ago and it aint good. I had some sticklers before but this guy was the fckn devil in disguise, i mean 16 (yes SIX-TEEN) fail items. Phew. All leisure time officially cancelled. Anyways, one of the rear brakes was picked on so off i goes with spanners in hand and the drum is absolutely well and truly siezed on the hub. Anyone got any tricks for this one, there must be some way of freeing it up?

Already tried bashing the **** out of it but it seems like its rusted solid on there. Help me before i reach for the spinner cos its gonna be loud, long and **** the neighbours right off if i have to do that.
 
how about stickin' a bolt with the proper thread into the hole on the drum and tighten it down? Then as ye're doin' that, give the drum a couple of chaps with a hammer (carefully!).
Ah take it ye've taken the screw out from the front of the drum?

;) :D
 
Chap, yer avatar is a III, but this is in the Deepender bit. Yer sed 110 not 109 so I'm guessing yer in the right bit? Not that we are 'ticulelerleley precious 'round these parts. :rolleyes: ;)

You could try some WD or light oil in the retaining bolt 'oles. It might spread a little & make a diffrunce. Buster gave the other advice I woulda given. Just remember when you do git the feker off to copper slip the surfaces that bear against eachother.

Wot were the other fails? Anything serious?

I dont know of it's possible on this type of hub, but can you punch the studs out, then apply the brake and run the vehicle in gear. It will spin the hub in the drum and free it.
 
If all else fails get yer goggles on and give it a good slap with a big hammer. It'll crack hopefully into two nice pieses and fall off:cool:

Used to have problems with scania hubs, we pounded them to fook then eventually the fooker cracked, so as you say we smashed it off in bits.
 
It worked on me series 3 which had been used to launch a boat by the previous owner. Got some much better axles off me good chum yella now though so it don't matter:D
 
Can't do the bolt-in-threaded-hole routine, looks like the last time it went on that threaded hole was aligned with the threaded hole in the hub for the retaining screw, so nothing to screw up against.

For those interested the full list of items was;

  • rear seat belt missing (-it was never actually there, someone bolted a buckle onto the door pillar for some reason?????)
  • headlamp aim
  • headlamp insecure
  • handbrake efficiency low
  • rear brake binding (Grrrrrrrr this is the one can't get off!)
  • brake line insecure
  • steering droparm ball joint
  • steering drop arm lock washer
  • 4 rear susp bushes
  • 4 outriggers corroded
Cleared all the simple ones yesterday, gonna tackle the welding today and then bushes and that fckn brake nex weekend

Dunno if ah'm too late with this, but the threaded hole ah was talkin' about is the one between the two studs below the 'screw';) :D
 
Well the drums off now, the only way i could do it was to cut two holes in the drum directly opposite each other with a spinner, was then able to get a sharp swrewdriver inside and hammer it between the hub flange and the drum to separate them.

This actually took very little time and given that drums are only £10 or so each is probbly the best option. God knows how it got stuck like that, musta been submerged in seawater or sumfin
