    frozen drum brake?
    « on: June 29, 2004 - 03:45:36 AM »
    The drum brake on my cuda on the front drivers side seems to be frozen up.  Can this be fixed or should I start lookin for a new one?

    generally it can be fixed , it depends what is frozen , it may need a new hardware kit or possible a bearing has frozen

    The Challenger sat up for over 10 years.  I had to tear the brake all the way down, but it was w/ little effort.

    a small sledge, I do mean small... just tap around the drums,
    and go in from the back side loosen the brakes... then whoala

    I thru the old stuff out, put in new...
