I wanted to check the brake drum and adjuster on the transmission brake of my II-A. I removed the propshaft from the rear to give myself some room and then tried to remove the drum itself.
The nuts came off the thin studs ok, but the drum would not budge even when there was no tension on the adjuster. The drum seemed to be "stuck" on and would not pry loose. I sprayed a lot of PB Blaster on the studs, but to no avail.
I could not find a bolt to insert into what seemed to be a threaded hole in the drum, as on the wheel brake drums.
Anyone have any tips as to how to remove that drum?
Thanks,
Jeff
