I WOULD LIKE TO SERVICE MY OWN REAR BRAKES ON MY SEDONA BUT AFTER RELEASING THE HAND BRAKE,REMOVING THE WHEELS,TAKING OUT THE GRUB SCREWS FROM THE DRUMS AND TAPPING QUITE VIGEROUSLY WITH A HAMMER,THERE IS NO MOVEMENT IN THE DRUMS. SHOULD I REMOVE THE BEARINGS TO GET IT DONE OR CARRY ON HAMMERING?. I DON'T WANT TO DAMAGE THE ABS SENSORS OR ANY OTHER PART. IT WOULD BE USEFULL IF ANYONE KNOWS IF THERE IS A MANUAL FOR IT YET. ALSO ANY OTHER MAINTAINANCE INFO WOULD BE WELCOME.

If you can turn the drums, buy some PB catalyst (or other penetrating oil) and spray the *** out of it, wait 15 minutes, and spray it again.  You should be using 3-4lb sledge at the very least, not a regular hammer.  Also, remember, don't hit the rear of the drum - just whack like *** in between the studs or you'll warp the drum.

Yes you have to remove the wheel bearing to remove the drum on some cars. Is yours like that? I dont know I don't work on those. What does it look like to you?
