W200 rear brake nightmare
#11
Turns out I didn't need a socket to get the nut off. After a few hits with a hammer I could turn it by hand. The innerds of the drum were a lot worse than I expected, all the hardware was laying in the bottom of the drum solid pile of rust. This is going to be more of a project than I was hoping for.

Ironmower; There is a locking ring that holds the nut in position once reinstalled.
CSXfan; You will still need a socket to properly reinstall the nut as it must be torqued to 120-140 FT LBS and then backed off 1/3 of a turn (120 degrees) to give the proper end play. It should be easier to make a socket now that you have it off. I get my large minimum use sockets at Northern Hydraulics as they are much cheaper.
