[QUOTE="pollyp, post: 400757, member: 4527"] oh dear lord, is ur dad like jeremy clarkson fixing practically anything with a big hammer :p when taking the drum off your suppose to poke through a grometed access hole on the backplate which disengages the handbrake arm stopper inside allowing the arm to release fully hence the shoes fully retract inward clear from the drum (especially if the edge of the drum has developed a ridge) and the drum should just slide off. when refitting the drum back on, you should oil/grease and reset the self-adjuster ratchet nut by screwing it all the way back (pull the ratchet finger slightly clear of the nut with one hand while turning the ratchet nut clockwise on the thread) which shortens the length of the adjuster mechanism, allowing the heavy red spring to pull the shoes together clear away from the drum surface. so then when you refit the drum it should just slide right on without hitting anything. generally upon refitting if something resists and you force it, unless its an intentional press fit, that something is gonna give and break [/QUOTE]
