    Ford Focus Rear Brakes. Cant remove the drums!

    I would change the bearings, if you have to pull or hammer the drums off i have found a couple of weeks later after putting it all back together and using the car the bearings fail, might be worth it and saveing possible repeat work.

    Help with battery light, not charging and now high idle?
