OK, I give up. How the heck is one supposed to get the friggin' brake drums off??? It looks like there are 2 or 3 (I can't remember how many) flat slotted screwdriver "plugs" (for lack of a better word) that hold the brake drum to the inner hub. Is there a special tool that I need, or just a really BIG screwdriver?Also, any suggestions as to how to loosen them? For obvious reasons, I can't use WD40 near my brake pads!
After having so much trouble with my MC, etc, I want to pull all the drums and check/replace the wheel cylinders and possibly just replace the entire brake system with new metal lines and new hoses. There's just something about a 30+ yr old rubber brake line that bothers me.
Oh, and do I need the axle nut tool to remove the brake drum? Or will the drum separate from the hub after I loosen those screws/plugs?
Many thanks from someone who has never worked on these brakes.
