O.K.,so I've completed the master cylinder replacement, and I'm attempting to move on the the wheels!I have no background with all of this, so I'm learning as I go; Does anyone know how to release the brake drums? I have found the slotted screw on the drum, but they are so rusted over that if I don't have to drill them out to get inside, I won't. Any info. would be helpful! Also any info. on compatible brake parts too. Thanks!

Here is a link to the front brakes from the service manual. http://groups.msn.com/NissanPatrolClubA ... otoID=1135 The next link has a picture of the bolt called a snail can adjuster. That's what you are looking for to back off the brakes as well as adjust them. http://groups.msn.com/NissanPatrolClubA ... otoID=1138 And here is a link to the rear brakes. http://groups.msn.com/NissanPatrolClubA ... otoID=1139 Keith

MUDBUG, I HAVE A 1969 PATROL KL60 THAT I DID MY OWN BRAKE WORK ON, I TO SAW THAT SCREW ON THE BRAKE DRUM ALL IT IS A CASTING MARK. FIRST USE A 11/16" WRENCH AND TURN BOLT HEAD COUNTER CLOCKWISE UNTIL IT STOPS, ONE LEFT AND ONE FOR RIGHT REAR WHEELS, THE FRONT WHEELS HAS TWO 11/16" ADJUSTING BOLT HEADS PER WHEEL TURN THEM ALSO COUNTER CLOCKWISE TILL THEY STOP. THESE BOLTS ARE TO ADJUST THE BRAKE SHOES THEN TO GET THE DRUMS OFF USE A LARGE SCREW DRIVER AND DRIVE GENTLY IN BETWEEN AXLE HUB AND BRAKE DRUM USING PRYING MOVEMENTS AROUND DIFFERANT AREAS UNTIL THEY COME OFF.
