80,000 miles on drum brakes gets you this

Shoe separation happened on mine at about 55-60k. The drums were dragging really bad. I had to rev up to 2500 to move the truck. One tire was on the verge of spinning.
I drove around a bit in reverse and it seemed to unlodge the shoe a bit. I ended up putting the truck on jack stands and in reverse to get the shoe to come off.

i have been working on cars and trucks for over 20 years and have NEVER seen any ford truck small or big with threaded holes in the drums.
a lot of off shore cars have this but not ford trucks

my '88 ranger had over 200K on it when i traded it off, i bought it at 98,000 and never did anything to the rear brakes besides pull the drums once in a while to confirm if i still had lining. my '93 needed rears at around 90,000. drums were stuck on so bad i had to bust them with a really big hand sledge. so i got the "china drums" and new rear shoes. ive put 2 sets of fronts on since ive got it. neither the '88 or the '93 had threaded holes to help pry the drum off, ive seen a couple of import cars that had that though. i anti-siezed my axle flange before i put it all back togther, should help.
