Re: [FWDLK] Rear Brake Woes

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need the style of puller that fastens to the lug bolts, not the outer
rim of the drum. Back the nut off until it is  flush with the end of the
axel and tighten the puller as hard as you dare, then whack the center of
the puller with your favorite big hammer. If it doesn't move with one or
two whacks, try heating the center of the drum then retry.
