Help! How Do I loosen rear Drum Brake ?! I need to loosen it to get at the rear suspension. The manual from gen3.mg4.com says that their 92se has a disc brake in the rear, mine doesn't have a disc, only in the front. How do I do this!!!

im not exactly sure what you mean, but that metal drum cover should just pry off and then you can adjust the brakes.Originally posted by garfo

There are two threaded holes on the outer face of the drum.
Find a proper size screw to thread into each hole and POP the drum loose (Make sure the e-brake isn't engauged). Once the drum is off, remove the axle nut and hub. I hope you have a big enough socket (I think it's 30mm) for the axle nut. The hub slides off and then you'll need to unbolt the 4 bolts that hold the rest of the brake assembly onto the strut. Set it to the side and that's it.

i remeber when i did my struts...you know how there is the 4 bolts that hold the brake onto the strut??? i took those bolts out and i still could not take the brake assembly off of the strut. is there something else that holds it on or did i just need to use some more force to take it off?Originally posted by kaleb
