Maybe I didn't ruin the already stuck rear end or transmission I was sure which, I was fairly sure it wasn't locked brake drums, after all that they should have popped free. So I get it home and I don't have 3 big guys to help me get it off my trailer, but I do have a John Deere, hooked it up and drug it off the trailer,an afterthought I should have used a couple of furniture moving dolly's under the rear wheels, oh well. I have riden them before, they are strong a true beast, I am a fairly Big Guy 6' 3" 195 pds, and it fits me good, but what I really like is the wide foot print and low center of gravity, not so easy to turn over. I actually like the Eiger I have this one and also a 2007. You might ask, why would you want something so ugly, it is often referred to as the ugly sister to the King Quad. a plus it had the original Kei Hin carb on it. He wanted 600.00 and I offered him 400.00. It was so bad that it took 3 Big Guys to get it on my trailer. I bought this Suzuki Eiger, almost a year ago, rear wheels locked up, but it ran fairly well. Now looking the Eiger over im not so Sure. My next project I actually bought first, but the Big Bear seemed like it was more challenging so tackled it first. Im finishing up on the Big Bear, just tying up some loose ends and its done. Start shooting those splines with PB Blaster or some other penetraing fluid.the splines are all that hold the drum on if you have the axle nuts removed. I can fax you a picture if you have a fax machine or scan a page and email it to you. I have a clymers and a factory manual on that rig if you need any more help. a couple good smacks with a hammer should break them loose.īut other than that, it's heat I'm afraid. Brake shoes sometimes wear out and then eat a groove into the drum. If you have both axle nuts and the washer removed, and the brake cables are slack, then there is nothing but corrosion holding that drum on there. I also haver a clymer's here tho I prefer chilton's. Typical Honda manual, it says 'remove the brake drum.' hahaha perhaps a chilton's would be more enlightening. The backing plate and inner dust cover are welded to the bearing carrier, so that will be staying where it is. The drum is splined, of course, but after you remove everything between it and the tire, there's nothing holding it in there. You're getting smoke because there is a bearing in there- be sure and repack that with grease before reassembly.
