I beat my drum, er, actually one of my drums, I mean one of the brake drums on Cyclops, front passenger side. That thing was on there tighter than a ….. well, tighter than a drum. Had to beat and break and chisel to get the darn thing off.

I will take a 5 lb hand sledge and tap all the way around several times and they usually break free. I've never seen one so frozen that they will break like that. Makes me feel guilty for cussing the ones I did get off in one piece.

Great to see you today Terry!!

Great seeing you also, I love coming to your shop, it's like the Bronco museum of Nashville! My mind was working overtime trying to remember all the stuff you have. Lol I will keep in touch while I'm in custody at Vanderbilt!

Yep, good reason for that too. If you need to inspect the brakes you might as well inspect and re-adjust the front wheel bearings while you're at it.

Some of them will separate, and there are plenty of threads here showing just that. But probably just as many threads talking about how the drum would not come off so they had to take the whole up and drum (or disc) assembly off as one.

took the chassis over, to the paint shop. they are getting ready to put the body back on. hopefully for the last time. then after they get the flares painted and installed and a few more details they are going to do the final color sand and polish. and hopefully I will be bringing it home for independence day

Rebuilt my C4 earlier in the spring; she did great on an offroad camping trip in the Sierras with the family (Buster was standing guard as we took a family selfie at a vista point.)

Pulled my windshield out. It had a few chips. These recent windshield threads got me motivated..... waiting on a new one to arrive now.

Dude... I've been driving my Bronco so long (25+ years) that I don't see mine any more. Thanks to you ;) they are sticking out like a turd in a punch bowl. ;D You may have inspired me to do likewise, time will tell.

Just think of them as beauty marks, BronCowie
