have u tried to loosen the brakes? Then take a hammer and beat the drum in different locations. I have never had one not come off this way. Sometimes it takes a while but it will come off. I just changed mine this winter, it's easier to buy the thing as a package and bolt thet new one on the trailer with the 4 bolts. You can save about $15.00 each wheel if you buy the parts seperate but it's a whole lot more work.

After many years and many $$$ I'm about to agree w/MJ on this...instead of spending money on trailer brakes, I just put a new set of rotors and pads on my truck...cross-drilled AND slotted on all four wheels...now for the trailer, I'll jack it up, remove the calipers and run it w/out brakes...gonna see how that works for a while...
