Can't get the drum off Jeep Wrangler 97
97 Wrangler TJ
I'm pretty sure the wheel cylinder needs to be replaces from the
leaking fluid. But I can't get the stupid drum off to get inside. The
wheel itself took a few kicks to actually come off. I've soaked the
area around the threads with a penetrating fluid and WD-40, hit it with
a hammer for a bit and doesn't seem to budge. Am I missing something
easy?
:/

Yep. :)
Get under and release the emergency brake cable. Your looking for the
line that runs back to a Y, at the Y you should be able to pull the cable
off. That will let the pads move back and not catch on the lip inside the
drum.

Well I don't know if that helped or not for later, but it's still on.
Here's what I'm staring at. The is the casing the same as the drum?

Re: Can't get the drum off Jeep Wrangler 97
I believe I had this problem once. I put a big three armed
puller on the rim and applied some force. Then after a period of tapping
with a rubber hammer it broke free. In this case there was no leaking
cylinder. Just a maintenance check.
