Ferozza brake drum siezed on

Post by lozzagee »

New to the 4WD game - got my Ferozza bogged at beach launching boat. :cry: :? Washed all out well with fresh water and then went away for 5 weeks for work. Seems like left rear brake drum is siezed. Can move vehicle after some working back and foward, but just but like hnd broke on. Anyways I cant get the brake drum off. Is there a special brake drum puller for the Feroza F300 series? Other suggestions? :? thanks all

There are two bolt holes in the drum to install bolts to help push it off, if you're lucky they won't be stripped/ butchered and useless.....

I can't remember if you can manually access the adjuster from the rear of the drum to wind it in a bit?

Easier way to access is to use a large flat head screwdriver and slowl work off the drum cover to get to the brake internals (remember to have your handbrake off)

If your going down the bolt approach ( the best if the holes aren't butchered ) make certain to apply pressure EVENLY to the bolts so as not to put uneven pressure on the drum.

Personally I'd give the axle/drum interface a good soaking in WD40 and then get friendly with the rubber hammer to hopefully break the initial bond.

Luck..... you may need it.

I was very glad to say goodbye to the Feroza drums - handbrake was useless, and normal breaking wasn't much better. Got full of crap and and......

Disks rule, and its hard to beat Park on an Auto. :cool:
( usual disclaimers )

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.
