Hello All! Me again!
Trying to get the release screw undone on my rear break drums.....without much luck using my biggest screwdriver!
Should I be using a special tool?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Once I got mine out the first time never fitted them again no problem the wheel holds the drum in place 20 years of not having to fight that screw.
 
So is it out yet?

You'll need to throw old screws away, buy new screws and be sure to tap through the thread before screwing up
 
Impact driver. can be picked up cheaply form halfrauds (and actually quite good quality). Then either do not replace or if you are replacing it copper grease it before fitting.

No it's not out yet! I was looking at the back end while I was waiting for parts for the front end. Then the parts arrived and I've been working on the front end. It's going well. I will be on the back again next week and will up date! :)

Thank you for this I will have a google and get some copper grease. :)
 
Hello everyone!
Great news. Finally managed to get an impact driver and the drum release screw came straight undone!
Happy days! Now I can investigate why that brake is sticking!!
Thank you very much for all your help. I never new impact drivers or copper grease existed!!

I see you already have it out but for those who wonder in the future or suggested violence or damaging methods then you need to use one of these - hammer impact driver basically - NOT an electric/air one.

I've never had one of these screws beat me with one of these, unless some idiot had not already mangled the screw with incorrect tools making it impossible, usually the Philips head screws mind you.

I also used to use an impact driver to get rusty wood screws out when doing my job as a chippy, don't take up much room in the tool box either.
