Hey all.
Around 20,000 miles ago my 2000 k11 micra (23,000 miles at the time) wore through the front brake pads and I needed new pads and discs (**** knows how the previous owner drove!) and now the car is on 40,500 miles. I just checked the front brakes and there is about 5mm of material on each pad - Fine for another year.
However, I cannot seem to get the drum off on the rear brakes to check them. As far as I am aware they have never been changed and so must be low. I took the wheel off and poked a screwdriver in the hole at the back as the Haynes manual says but I still cannot get the drum off.
What do I do? Please forgive my epic nubness .
