Hello all,

I got my '67 MKIII  in October 98 and I haven't touch the rear brake yet.
I realized las week that I had a small leak in one drum on one  rear wheel. I 
have a spare cylinder and I wanted to change it last week end. 
I removed the wire whell and the adapter (4 big bolts) but the 2 small screws 
holding the drum are stuck !! 
( I can send a picture off list)

I already damaged them quite a bit by trying to unscrew them with my biggest 
screwdriver. 

Do you have any tip to get them loose or shall I just destroy the heads of the 
screw and once the drum is off I would remove the rest of the screws and 
replace them (or not, are they really usefull ?)

I am very interested in your experience
