I have a Suzuki Ozark and the rear brake has been sticking. I am trying to take it apart to see what the problem is. I removed the dust cover and wheel assembly, backed off on the cables, but the drum will not budge. IS there a special puller or tool I need to remove the drum? Any help would be appreciated.

I'll check for you.
My Bro-in-law has the service manual for the old 300 KQ's. I'll check with him and get back with ya. I believe (dusting off the memory banks) they are held in with a spring clip that compresses when you pull it out. I don't think there is anything you need to remove prior to giving it a good yank. Let me find out for sure though.AKmud

Sayak.....
Bro-in-law (with the tech manual) confirms all it takes is a good straight yank. He said he puts a strap around the spindle and then puts the spindle nut back on to hold it. Get some slack in the strap and give it a good hard/sharp yank. Sometimes they are stubborn, but it shoud pop out.
Good luck with the CV boot, they are a pain!AKmud

When you get it off, if the drum axle flange is thick enough, drill and tap 2 holes with fine thread 3/8" bolts on oposite sides of the drum where it will hit the axle. Then the next time the drum is rusted on you can press it off or at least break it loose using the bolts.
Right now a BFH, heat, and penetrating oil are your best friends.
