I thought this was going to be simple:
I can not get the two slotted screws to budge. I didn't think that much torque should be holding them, so I figure they are seized good.
I need to get the drum off to service the brakes on the 240 as I have no brakes on that wheel. The star wheel thing on the back side seems to have broken off inside so the drum must come off.
Are these screws necessary? The lug nuts and rim hold the drum on anyways.
How big is the actual bolt part?
I haven't put any heat to it yet but it has had the penetrating oil put to it. I was thinking of welding a nut on the screw head and trying that if I don't need these screws, either that or drill them out.
