Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
beating the drum is standard practice. the drum rusts to the hub and there is no other way of getting it off that doesnt take days. i beat mine pretty good with a 2lb balpeen hammer when i have to take them off. dropping it isnt going to hurt it either.
you can change over to the stock disc brake setup with standard hand tools. just need a socket set that goes up to 1" and wrenches that do the same. it seems like a lot but it really isnt.
