RE: SER1 Transmission Handbrake Drum (very stuck)

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/12/08]

Good-day again All,

   Thanks to Nick and Mark for the help - good to know
I am not hunting for an non-existent item!

I do have to apologize though, I neglected to mention
why I was trying to remove the transmission brake drum
in the first place.  My problem is that the four rear
prop. shaft nuts are not accessible using the tools
that I have avaiable, so I cannot actually remove IT. 
I have undone the four nuts at the rear differential,
so the prop. shaft is free to manoeuvre - however even
moving it about, I still cannot get a socket
(properly) onto the nuts.  I had been hoping removing
the handbrake drum would allow better access (via a
wrench perhaps) to the four prop. shaft nuts.

Is there any particular form of brute force that works
best?  So far I have tried thumping on the face, but
to not avail - granted, I've refrained from turning
huge and green, and going to town on it! :)

Thanks again. As always, any advice is always
appreciated!
-- Adam
