i took off the lug nuts, i took off the wheel. now the drum. it wont budge!!!! do i need to hit it harder or am i missing something????
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
It might not hurt to use a strong screwdriver to pry out on the drum while doing this , applying enough pressure to help it pop off without bending the backing plate . And when reinstalling puting some anti-sieze between the drum and flange.It may be rusted to the axle flange. Hit it with a ball peen hammer, on the face, between the studs. Maybe 5-6 hits, like you mean it...
On my M1009, the knockout wasn't obvious, but when I looked carefully I was able to find it. Scoring the edges of the knock out with a cold chisel seemed to help get it popped out.
One came off without backing off the star nut. FWIW, when I had that one off, I popped out the knock out anyway and filled the gap with RTV sealant for next time.[/QUOTE]

BEAT me to it, sounds like a needed read from the sound of the start of this threadSection 7-7 of the -20 manual talks you though the process step by step.
