Beating on the drums last night... Backed off the adjuster on driver's side fully and STILL could not get the drums to pop off. So I cut the two pins that hold the springs from the back side and STILL could not pull the dang thing off... swung the hammer so hard that my hands are bruised it feels like. Stupid brakes.

Passenger side bleeder broke off, but wheel cylinders are cheap. The bad part is that the line looks just as frozen in rust as the bleeder was and so do the rest of the line connections. Wire brushed everything, heated with MAP gas, shot many many times with PB Blaster over the last several days in preparation. Stupid brakes.

Driver's side bleeder broke free. I'll buy the wheel cylinder for this one though too just in case, but only replace it if it needs it. Stupid brakes.

Side note: Driver's side drum had the hole in it for the adjuster. Finally a reason to not have the hole in the backing plates!!! My last set of drums had neither!!! Stupid brakes.
