Brake Drum Removal screw size

[nathan.chase]

Hi everyone,

 

I need help getting my brake drums off a 2.2 Impreza Sport.

 

I tried getting off my brake drums and both sides wouldn't pull off. They aren't stuck to the hub but the grooves in the drum and pads I assume are not allowing the drum to pull off. Parking brake was off.

 

What size is the bolt you can screw into the drum?

 

Am I missing something else, perhaps you have to adjust the brakes off or something?

 

thanks for the help.

Yes, adjust them looser.

Size is 8mmx1.25 IIRC. Same thread and dia as the radiator hold down screws on top.
