How to remove a mule brake drum on a Kawasaki?
Refer to the parts diagrams on Kawasaki.com for details on the construction of the rear axles and the internal circlips that require removal of the entire ring and bolts on the transaxle to reach so the axle itself can be removed for that outboard seal replacement. Thank you for the reply.. I saw your post about this on another thread.
Is the parking break cable behind the mule brake drum?
And there are some adjusting nutts behind drum on the parking break cable. MAY BE i can adjust the slack in the cable a little. but it seems the parking break leverage linkage that inserts into the drum is all the way back to resting position against the bracket.
What kind of oil to use on mule brake drum?
Some of the very high end rust penetrating oils, like KROIL, work almost as well as the acetone and ATF mix.

Can a brake drum puller be used to remove brake drum?
A brake drum puller works just fine, or a length of chain attached to opposing lugs and whipped like snap the whip, will pop them off once the nut is off and the rust is suitably dissolved. To get really tough rust to release make a mixture of 50% acetone and 50% automatic transmission fluid, and keep it soaking for a couple days.
