Thealex Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 crap.Broke a wheelbolt, and tried to drill it out with a pigscock(no idea what you call it in England, but thats what its named in Norway ).Basicly, its an inverted drill. But it still turned the correct way and went into the drum brake.Someone has tried to play with the brake before, as the screw holding the drum cover in place is kinda broken. No screw driver can get any grip.If I drill this screw out, will I break the brake? Do I actually need to have the screw there? Or maybe I can use a bigger one?I'm driving from Oslo to Bodø(1260km) tomorrow, and the brake is making so much noice with the broken bolt inside of it. So, hope I manage to fix this today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashh Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 If you drill it out well (just the bolt beig damaged) then no you won't break anythig else, just obviously make sure you have a replacement screw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thealex Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I just hope my pigdick is small enough.If I can get just a small part of it into the head, maybe I can pull it out nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thealex Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 hihi We actually call the tool "pigdick" or "pigcock" here in Norway I guess you just call it inverted drill or something. English can be so boring sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thealex Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Got the screw out ok But the drum is still stuck on. It turns nicely, so the the shoes aren't locked up right? Or should I still find a wedge/lever inside of one of the holes to free the shoes up?I read something about that in a different thread, but can't understand which part they are talking about Don't think they have been changed since 1999... heheAny tips or pointers for me? Pulling my hair here. If it's not fixed tonight, I can wave goodbye to my hollyday :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thealex Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 found the wedge lever thing and pushed it up. But. Do I have to take the center hubnut off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 You don't need to take the hub nut off.The hole on the rear of the drum is used to push the shoes back, it's at a really stupid angle too so you'll need to be patient when trying to push them back.Once the shoes are pushed back you should be able to free the drum just by hitting it a lot with a hammer (presuming that you've already removed/drilled out the retaining screw).

Thealex Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Freed it, but the brakes are making scraping noises, and there is a point where something meets and it sort of brakes it self.Gave up, after trying everything I could think of.. So now it's at a garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
