dropped on E-brake drum

Heres the story (with pictures)

I had a tranny and TC that looked like this;



I wanted my tranny to look like this;



but along the way I dropped it and got this;





So, I wasn't planning on putting the e-brake all back together anyhow (I have no other parts). But this thing will just sling apart if I tried to use it.

Any helpfull suggestions welcome. (I've gotten the useual "Jackass" alreary from the wife)

 

You can just take it out.
Watch the studs that hold the backing plate they like to spin.
Kinda pressed in from back.
Alot of them have been, new owner doesnt even know it had one, or what it is.
You can buy that drum I believe.
I have a whole setup used that I got on ebay and dont need.
Because I switched to D20 and axle drum ebrake

 

i have a used e-brake drum you can have for shipping cost. i will even throw in a rag or two for the dust, grease...pm me for pictures.

 

Great, Thanks for the quick replys. I thought that I might just be able to take the drum off. Now I need an 1 1/8" socket, but I love buying new tools .

 

You can just ditch the e-brake setup and gain ground clearance

 

1 1/8 socket also fits pinion nut. Two for the price of 1

 

1 1/8 socket, $20.00 Sears. Or a complete 3/4" drive set with ratchet, extensions and neat case for $38.00 at the Orange County Swap meet. I opt for the $38.00 set.

 

I was thinking of Harbor Freight for that socket that I'll use 2X in the next 10 years.
A set for $40 would be fine.

 

I also have a spare drum you could have.

 

The Harbor Freight 3/4" drive set is ok:

I have a couple of those laying around.

I have thought of ditching it in favor of a line lock, I never use the parking brake anyway. But the thought of moving someplace I may want it has kept me from ditching it.

 

Thanks guys,
I was thinking of a line lock also.

Fla has no inspection.R) My jeep was in the Garage with the tranny out and I got this...

 

HF is not bad for tools youre probably going to use only once or twice. Ive had my HF Impact sockets for 3 years now and havent broken one yet.

Also, Id like to get a set of E-brake shoes for mine 'oneday'. Am I right in assuming I dont have to turn the drum since its going to be used when the jeep is stopped anyway?

 

You and me both! My rear axle shafts are out, and windshield is missing, but had to register it cause the old bat on the corner called the city on me. Had to register to be in compliance. Not like its in the yard or anything!R)
