yaris brake drum

[zoli 16ga.]

I broke a rear wheel stud and need to get the rear drum off. It will not pull off. I see two threaded holes to put bolts in to push the drum off. Anybody know the thread size?

Don't quote me, but seems like the size might be 8mm x 1.25

Be SURE you don't have the emergency (hand) brake set and if it still is tight to remove, relase the brake adjustment to max released position. If the linig is worn, the drum might have also worn down to have a "lip" and the lining, sitting in the deper part of the "lip" will prevent your taking the drum off. I usually can remove those small drums with a good whack with a 4X4 or a small 4LB sledge in the middle, and it loosens up. That depends though, on how much corrosion you have had accumulate with the magnesium chlorate that is used to melt the snow...... Good Luck !

Thanks guys, job done. Took about 30min. in the driveway, but it was -26 deg. C with the wind chill ; )

Bolt to remove the brake drum is a 10m/1.5, worked like a charm.
