Howdy ya'll
I am Bob from Bakersfield, CA, posting as rsheldon, and I recently bought a 59 TR3A that had not been started or moved in over 17 years. I am now in the process of getting my 3 back on the road. I am working on the brake system and am having trouble getting the rear drums off. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is my third 3 and I have previously had an MGA and a Sunbeam Alpine. I do love my little British autos.

Welcome to BCF! If this is your 3rd 3, that makes it a 9? Be sure to jump in at our Triumph forum here for and specific TR questions - great bunch in there.

Hello Bob

Welcome to the forum.

The Triumph section is very active so you are sure to get plenty of tips and advice there for your TR3 project. Do the rear wheels turn? Slackening the hand brake adjusters may get you some more room to get the drums off. That is if the adjusters move.
