Does anyone know what size bolt to use in the two holes in the rear brake drums of an 07 caravan to get them off? Thanks in advance.

 

REMOVAL
1. Raise the vehicle.
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly from the vehicle
3. Remove the rear brake shoe adjusting hole cover plug.
4. Insert a thin screwdriver into brake adjusting hole and hold adjusting lever away from notches of adjusting screw star wheel.
5. Insert another thin screwdriver into brake adjusting hole and engage notches of brake adjusting screw star wheel. Release brake adjustment by prying upward with adjusting tool.
6. Remove rear brake drum from rear hub/bearing assembly.


NOTE: It may be necessary to insert M8 X 1.25 MM bolts into the two removal holes on the drum to force the drum off the hub.

 

This is what I needed. Thanks.

 

The bolts will help if the drum is rusted to the hub. But make sure the wear ridge on the drum will clear the shoes.

 

wait a minute!....

an 07 caravan has drums on the rear?... my 06 has discs all around... is this another Chrysler cost cutting measure, or did they put drums on the lower end models?
