    Problems removing rear drums

    So I have all the parts to do my rear drum to disc swap, but I can't get my rear drums off.

    I read the tutorial and I know what I'm supposed to do. My question is does anyone know the size bolts that threads into the drums to unstick them? I'd like to only make one trip to the hardware store for bolts and I don't want to buy 2 of each size bolt.

    Any help would be great!

    the actual drum or the shoe? if the drum doesnt want to come off, hit it a little bit with a hammer. if that doesnt work, there is a little pin size hole on the drum. put something through there and push in. thats what i did and everything came off.

    The drum. I tried hitting it with a hammer and nothing. I will have to try the hole idea.

    Make sure your E Brake is off or you will never get it off. Tapping it with a mallet and wiggling the drum should make it come loose.

    Why are you guys hitting the drums with the hammer????? it is simple do you see the whole on the face of the drum.. find a bolt that fits screw it in the drum will pop off... if you hit the drum you may cause it to wedge on more... i forget what size bolt fits but go to home depo and find one... screw it it the drums pop off... thats the porper way to take the drums of with out damage.....
