Good evening, I have a 2001 transit based camper, single rear wheel, on a recent trip I braked as I went into a layby and the rear o's brake locked and skidded and this happened about 3 or 4 times in about an hour, parked up for the night and drove home steadily the next day, tried to make it do it again the next day but all seemed fine.
Decided to have a look and see if I could find a problem, looked at the ns first but couldn't get the brake drum off so turned the van around and jacked up the o's to find the brake locked and I couldn't turn the wheel at all.
So I thought start it up put in gear to move the drum and see if it releases.......... nothing happened. put in gear let the clutch out nothing got out still in gear ticking over nice ns wheel on the ground o's wheel jacked up nothing moving. The only thing I can think is the half shaft is busted, but could I have driven from Wales like that??????
HELP first of all how can I get the brake drum off. HELP.
