Parking brake removal

I am trying to rebuild the parking brake on a c500-50. There are 5 or 6 nuts coming out of the drum which I assumed was how to remove the drum. After removing the nuts, i realized the stud is only accessed from inside the drum, in other words once the nut came off, the stud pushed through and now just spins on the drum. This drum is located on the bottom of the transmission. I took a picture but it does not appear I can post it on here. I have two different manuals and neither is a help.

There is a hub that the drum mounts to , the bolts you removed were to hold drum onto hub
Remove the nut from center of drum that will allow you to remove the drum assy
Be sure and put a big drain pan under before you remove the assy as there will be trans fluid loss and while out replace seal and o ring
Good luck!

You need to take the center of Park brake hub off. I believe it was an 1 and 1/8 socket to remove the nut. Slide the drum off and you'll have access to the shoe and hardware. Be sure to replace the seal and o-ring. You can buy the assembly from TVH if necessary.

Hey Todd,i saw your post a little bit while searching for info, i know its been awhile and you never got a answer but i wanted to ask, i assume you got your problem figured out, i am working on a C500 s 100 , is that true the parking brake is inside the tranny? and how does one go about reaching that? or does the tranny and engine need to come out,im sorry to bother you with this but any help, no matter how little would be appreciated, thank you.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
