Re: 83 Eagle rear brake drums

A: Just needs a whack inwards at the top and bottom of the O, then rotate 
and do it again till it pops loose. Only on the flat face, and not the 
corner (unless you have new ones to put on) or down on the top.

Just got the new 83 Eagle home and noticed the rear brakes are real
touchy.  Went to inspect the rear brakes and the drums don't want to come
off.  Surprise.  The Chiltons (never liked them) says to remove the axle
nut but the next pic shows the drum removed and the axle nut still on.  I
don't think the nut has to come off and it looks like the drum should
slide over everything, just needs a little more heat to persuade it.  Who
has a definitive answer?

Thanks
