    Hoping someone can help me here. I've got a second set of wheels for my bike. The rear drum is still on the wheel and I can't seem to get it off for the life of me. Anyone have a suggestion. Wheel is entirely off the bike and the diff side all clear down to the wheel. Thanks in advance.

    Push the brake-actuator arm the wrong way a little bit before trying to remove the wheel- that will make the brake shoes go inward a bit, hopefully enough so that they retract enough to clear the lip that's worn in the brake drum's edge. It won't get you much room, as it'll start to push the brake shoes out again if you go too far.

    You'll have to wiggle the brake assembly and the brake-arm around to persuade it out.
