Subject:Re: Frustrated with removal of Brake Drums

Yea I did remove the 11mm bolts.  I thought it was very strange.  I
can not think of another bolt or nut that has an 11mm head on it.
Every other bolt/nut on the Vanagon around that size is either 10 or
13 mm.

So,  after reading some responses, I am going to go home tonight and
wack the heck out of it until it comes loose.  By the way, if I do
damage the drum, is it difficult or expensive to replace?

Thanks again,

Paul
