Wrong thread.....we are talking about DRUMS in the rear not discs.

 Well then type clearly what you mean. I put what I'm talking about. Like I said, nothing needs to be released to get the first drum part off.

Sometimes the drum itself can be worn to the extent that the shoes are actually 'embedded' into the drum. If a groove is worn in the drum, and the shoes are expanded into the groove in the drum, then the shoes will have to be released before the drum can be removed.

Hector, how come you never mentioned that what your were talking about was only for very badly worn brakes? I hope people take care of their brakes more often than what would allow that to happen.

They weren't that badly worn....even when I tried to remove the drums RIGHT after I put them on (took the car out)I couldn't...so I released the shoes.
