Okay so my drum brake is stuck and I have been looking at pullers and they are expensive as hell. I have an idea for a DIY tool.
Take a 12" piece of 1 inch steel tubing
Drill a 5/8 hole at 6"
Then measure your drum brake radius and dill a hole left and right of the center
Then you can weld a nut to the center hole and feed a piece of all thread into at the other end either weld a nut or take two nuts back to back
Then feed 2 grade 8 6" bolts into the outside holes
take 2 grade 8 washers on either side and a grade 8 nut and tighten down
using the all thread you can tighten down from the center and the washers catch on the edge of the drum brake. What are your thoughts?
