1983 Honda ATC 200E Big Red

Can anyone tell me how to get the rear brake drum off a 1983 Honda ATC 200E Big Red. It's on there good. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks so much

its probably rusted on. use some wd 40 ,or some other stuff and let it sit for a while, and tap it slightly and it should move a bit.

I had the same problem with my 83 200e rear brakes. I soaked the drum with liquid wrench and let it sit for a day.

After trying for a day or two I wound up sticking a screwdriver in the round openings and pried it off. I also hit the drum a few times with a hammer to loosen things up a little.

It was not easy and I broke some chips off of the drum but I got it off.

Hitting it with a hammer or a mallet worked the best for me. I really didnt need to pry it.

If you can find some Halls rust breaker, out it on and let it sit for a couple hours and then rap it a few tims on the face with a hammer. That is what I did when I had the same problem an a 185S drum.

I had the same problem with my 200e. All you have to do is go buy a large flywheel puller. Then make 3 extensions for the "arms" of the puller (in order to reach the drum from the end of the axle). The drum will come right off, a lot easier then hammering on it. A cheap flywheel puller does not cost that much.
