Stuck Brake Drums

[scooter3]

I have an issue with the front brake drums on my Fury. They are stuck something horrible and I can't get them off. I've hit on them and done some light prying not to bend them, trying to get them off but no success. I am aware they have pullers for them but has anyone else had this problem??

We went through this with another guy here...

Are you taking the spindle nut off?

Not sure what year your Fury is but......see the grease cap? remove it...behind it there is a pin through the spindle..pull that out gently and remove the nut cover..unscrew the retaining nut and pull off the drum.

No.....are you serious you have to take the castle nut off to get the drums off?

Its a 66

Yes, we're serious. That's the way they built them.

I strongly suggest getting a factory service manual for this car.
