  2. Hmmm, I had no screws on my offside rear, changed them for screw adjusters while replacing the backing plate.

    Do you have 46mm socket and undo the hub itself?

  5. What about from the adjuster holes at the rear bottom of the backing plate?

    Make sure that the hand brake cable is fully slackened off..
    Soak wheel bolts with penetrating oil
    And whack the drum with a heavy lump hammer using some wooden batten as a buffer.

    Do you mean hit through them? I adjusted the star things through them from under the van.

    Maybe try a bit of heat if you have a blow lamp, might just pop something out.

    No, but there are holes. I was interested in what was under the holes when you took it off.

  20. I hope this drum comes off tonight, to much suspense I can't handle it.
