rear brake on 200e trouble (got it)

[bigred1]

I'm trying to remove the rear brake cover on my 1982 200e. I removed the axle nuts and washer but it seems I'm being held up by stuborn dust seal' I've w-d40 and tapped on it could it be rusted that much? Do you all have other tips/ideas? Thanks.

So i just kept working it by using a skinny bar and hammer and tapped (firmly) on the rim of the drum cover from the sprocket side and used a good bit of w-d 40. Had about a cup of water in there along with some broken pieces of brake drum. I don't think its been opened since 1982 lol! I have a set of shoes that should fit but my springs are broke, anyone know where i can get a couple of those?

Honda, And all EBC sets come WITH them.. So,,you're dealer,,if they have sold any,,they may have a cpl laying around.. That little O ring has cost more than one a cpl hours of their lives they aren't getting back !!

went to dealer today got new shoes and new dust seal ordered will know the damage once the parts come in! Thought about asking but decided it didn't matter I don't like riding w/out brakes!
