      I have a 1990 ford ranger 4.0 v6. I am trying to change the rear brakes, but I’m struggling to get the drum off. The adjustment screw is siezed, so I drilled out the rivets on the back, I tried to wiggle the drum off with no luck. Then i unbolted the wheel cylander, again with no luck wiggling it off. Then I tried to straight pry it off, I got it past the end of the hub, but can’t get it any farther off. Anyone have suggestions?

        Have you tried cutting the hold down nails?

          That was the video that I was trying to replicate. By rivets I meant “hold down nails”.

              Sorry not much help here but unless you want to take some where it will take persistence and patience
