We have a Ford Ka 2003 which has rear brake drums and shoes. How do you remove the rear brake drum? We have so far taken off the wheel and given it a bang with a hammer between each wheel stud with no joy. Is there anything else that is holding it in place?
Many thanks
Karen

the brakes could be to tight, try to adjust them looser then smack with hammer on outside face of drum also you might put some penetrating oil around studs and axle.
