I've got my 1994 F250 HD 4WD IDI diesel in my shop after years of abuse. Sterling 10.5" full-floating rear axle. I have been trying for a week, off and on, trying to get one of the rear brake-drums off. Note - this truck has never seen a winter or winter road-salt. Maybe a little salt they put on dirt roads here all summer long. Anyway - my point is - no rust. Clean truck I got from the south-west years ago and garage it every winter.
One stuck rear brake drum. I've beat on it, I've heated it, I've soaked it with rust penetrant, yanked on it with a slide-hammer type puller, etc. Good thing I am in no big hurry, but this is getting ridiculous. I spoke to another guy who had the same problem and he finally gave up and took it to a Ford dealer. He said they got it off pretty quick but has no idea how. I have the factory Ford tech manual and it says near nothing except "do not use heat" and "do not use a puller." So, what else is there, magic?
I am almost out of ideas except build some sort of puller or cut the rear drum off. Anybody else to an idea? I'd love to know what a Ford dealer would do behind closed doors.
What irks me is I just got done doing the rear brakes on a 2001 Chevy Tracker that IS rusty and a winter rig. Brake drums were stuck but - Suzuki was kind enough to have threaded pusher holes in the drums. All I had to do is thread bolts into them and push the drums off.
