How to remove the rear brake drums on a VAZ 2101-2107

The brake drums of the rear wheels on the VAZ 2101-2107 do not have to be removed so often, but this causes a lot of problems for the owners of the “classic”, since this procedure is not pleasant. Over time, the drum body and hubs stick to each other very strongly and it becomes almost impossible to knock it down. But still, I'll start with a more civilized method of withdrawal. For this you will need:

1. Jack
2. Balloon wrench
3. 7 deep head with a knob or ratchet
4. Penetrating lubricant

So, first of all, we raise the back of the car with a jack and unscrew the wheel:

Then we remove the wheel and spray with penetrating grease on the joints of the studs and the brake drum 2107:

 

Now we unscrew the two drum guide pins:

 

When they have been dealt with, you can try to knock the drum from the inside by gently tapping it with a hammer through some kind of substrate. If it was not possible to bring it down in this way, you can perform the following operation.

We get into the car and start the engine, turn on the fourth speed and spin the suspended wheel in such a way that the speed on the speedometer is at least 60-70 km / h. And sharply press on the brake pedal. At this moment, the pads begin to block the brake drum, and the hub tends to rotate further, it is at this moment that the disc breaks out of its place and then it can be knocked down without much difficulty.

If necessary, you can repeat the procedure with acceleration and deceleration (with a suspended wheel) several times until you achieve the desired result.
