Re: [T3] Rear break work


You know, I tried something similar to this.  I basically had both wheels
off, and the drums screws off as well, then I started up the car and went to
third and slammed on the brakes at speed... A few times, but no luck.  I
never considered using the emergency brake to keep the drum from moving but
force the center hub move, makes so much sense.  I will try that next
weekend.  Why do you suggest doing one and then the other instead of both at
the same time? 

Thanks for your help.
