Title: Brake shoes seized to drum
Post by: Dennis on August 20, 2018, 12:42:23 PM
After about 10 months of my last XS650 purchase sitting neglected in my driveway, I decided I needed to move it some where that did not make my home look so trashy.  However, the rear wheel was seized and I could not roll it.  I tore into the project this weekend.

It turns out the brake shoe material was seized to the drum.

I had to make a special chisel to carve it out.

Once removed, I was able to re-assemble the wheel on the bike and park/hide it in my back yard.

Peace & Grease, Dennis
