How do you get the rear drums off? I have beat, pulled and cannot get them to budge.

Ensure the emergency brake is off.

Yes the brake was off

. Some drum brakes have two threaded holes that you need screw a bolt into to ease the drum off.

. Even though you released the emergency brake, it may be still dragging enough to prevent the drum from coming off. Therefore, you may have to adjust the emergency brake cable.

I will check that. Thank you

kitch428 is a Toyota man and he will know for sure.

Use 2 8mm bolts x 1.25 thread- 50mm long. Equaly tighten them into the drums threaded holes. Once the drum has come out as far as the center of the axle flange, take the bolts out and remove the drum by hand. You DO NOT want to hurt the shoe anchor pins.

Thanks for your help, I will try that
