hI,
I don’t know if your rear drum design is the same as my 62 Phoenix
(Dart). I had no luck removing rear drums. I suspect rear brakes had not been
working for 20 years before I purchased the car. One drum would not budge. We
broke pullers, burred steel with hammers etc.
I finally tracked down a guy who makes a rear drum puller that works the
way they used to 50 years ago. It pulls by the wheel studs. He was kind
enough to send me the really hard bits to find, such as 1/2” UNC left hand
thread couplers and threaded bar. I made the puller similar to his
design.
Brake drums came off very easily with this special puller.

yep did all that, no dice, just had to tear the drum off. Drum and
backing plate are fine, all else inside there was destroyed by the time I got
done. The way I figure is something was installed wrong because there was no
contact to push out the actuating lever for star wheel. I mean I
fished around for 2 hours trying to find the sweet spot to push it out,
nothing just air.I still can't figure it out. luckily the hard to find
stuff is unharmed. just have to buy new shoes and kits. Cylinder might be
ok.
On the other wheel there is something wrong there too as
the actuating lever rides too high on starwheel and couldn't possibly
bite it. I think this design is one of mopars real boners. How
u are supposed to get all that handled through 2 tiny mouse holes is beyond
me? I mean couldn't they have made the holes a little bigger?
Can u guys share your methods and tools of how you work in
there.
