We have a 1987 Cobra Trailer that had its brakes fried. Crew forgot to release brake. Does anyone know how to remove the brake drum? Newer Cobras have a Allen bolt that when removed the entire assembly come off. This trailer does not have that. Any input is helpful.

Colin,
What happens when you take the wheel off? I have a later model Cobra and IIRC a 22MM Socket removes the entire axle. Something to remember is that Cobra uses AL-Co running gear so if you can get a manual for this particular year it would help. Another good reference id Alfred Spindelburger at Cobra. Ive done a bit of work on these trailers (More than I care to recall) and Spindleburger (SP?) will occasionally email you back immediately during business hours (They are several hours ahead so try this in the morning). If you pull the wheel off and PM me a pic I can explain how to remove it.
Good Luck!
