How do you replace the drum brakes on a 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier?

Answer 1

remove the rear wheels,sometimes the drums (if they havent been removed before )may have spin on keepers on the wheel studs.just break them off with side cutters.no need to replace them.now if the drum is loose it should pull off the studs.sometimes it can be siezed due to rust and pentrating fluid will help.some times you need to hit the drum with a hammer to loosen the drum,noto hard you dont want to damage it.if they dont come off then its best to take the car to a shop and have them do it.it can be an easy job(if not siezed) or a nightmare(if rusted and seized)hope this helps
