Put some penetrating oil on the hub to drum area. If real nasty file it down - hub that is. When nobody is looking beat the snots out of outer edges and back and fourth. You could kill it and need a new drum. Rubber is best for the project but it may take a hand sledge -- this crap is common and stinks! The drums with threaded holes are different and would require a different procedure but I don't think Ford vans went there yet??

2 cents if that of a smear of grease will stop that problem forever! T

Find the adjustment hole and release the adjuster wheel to free the shoes from tne drum also. These are also bad about developing a rust ridge on the outer edge of rim and holds it quite tightly.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

Good one way2old. I wasn't thinking of the ring so much as the damn rust we have where I live. Yes if drum is loose and won't come off you need to adjust them to make the clearance. New drum or turned is mandated, T
