I am desperate. Thanking you Ash DanD Veteran / Moderator Aug 15, 2006, 3:27 AM Post #2 of 4 (2790 views) Re: Rear Braking sysytem on ford escort 1999 model Sign In Asking these kinds of questions tells me you do not have a lot of experience working on cars and maybe you should start gaining some by taking a course at a community collage. A course explaining the basics and safety issues related with these kinds of automotive repairs. Sorry if this isn’t the help you wanted but if you have to ask how to get a brake drum off; well that’s kind of scary. Dan.

Doing brakes isn't hard at all, but if you do them wrong it could really mean your in for some big trouble. You could also go to a local auto parts store and look for a Haynes manual for your car a read through the steps on changing your drake drums. You may then realize that you should have a professional do it or it may be very easy for you to complete the job.

Rust is a major reason for drums not just coming off if only for inspection and if well worn just removing the drum can break brake hardware so you need to be ready for that. One thing you can do is put a smear of brake lube sold "brush in can" right on the hub and drum and the problem will be gone next time you even want to look. Back drum brakes last quite a long time and when they need doing for me it's the rust game. As Dan said: An evening course at you local vocational school is a great idea. The ones around me allow you to work on you own car while supervised and these courses don't cost that much -- or at least here.
