Position the vehicle on suitable axle stands and remove the rear wheels: the drum has two threaded holes into which two bolts should be inserted and tightened to act as extractors (progressively tighten both bolts); during the extraction phase, with the bolts under tension, it is advisable to give the drum a few taps with a hammer to help dislodge it. Proceed very gradually to avoid the drum getting stuck and making removal particularly difficult; do not spray any penetrating oil as it may contaminate the brake shoes.
