How do you remove rear brake drum from a 1993 Toyota pickup?
AnswerIf you are asking how do you remove the rear drum to get to the pads there are some bolts on the back side of the drum that hold it on. I believe there is also another small bolt that holds on some brake component/sensor that must be removed. Once this is done, the drum will pull right off. When loosing the bolts on the back of the drum, be sure not to loosen the bigger bolts on the back of the spindle. Those bolts keep the entire wheel from flying off your car on the freeway! Those are actually the spindle nuts, which bolt onto your chassis to hold the wheel on the car.

You need to remove the two Phillips head screws holding brake drum assembly on. Then thread an 8mm bolt through threaded hole on face of drum. This will push drum assmembly off of hub.
The purpose of a drum brake is to come to a complete stop with any veichle that may have drum brakes in the rear of the car.
Take the wheel off to see if you see a caliper for a disc brake or a drum for a drum brake.
Better hope it is not a drum brake- it was originally equipped with a disc brake caliper.

There are two holes in the rear brake drum on the face of it that are threaded, they will be across from eachother. Find the correct thread bolt and screw them into the drum. They will push the drum out and away from the axle. Screw them in evenly a little at a time and use a rubber mallet if needed to pound around the drum to help it off. Sorry I am not sure of the proper bolt thread, I just looked through my can of bolts until I found two that fit. Hope that helps! The correct bolt size is M8 x 1.25 thread, I used one 35mm Long.
