Default 1987 Cobra Trailer Brake drum removal

Bolt appears welded to axle arm. Cannot remove spindle either.


AFAIK, if you're looking at the backing plate and spindle, you've gone as far as you can go without cutting/welding. Assuming the entire assembly didn't get hot enough to anneal/soften the spindle, why do you need to do any more disassembly? Replace or reline the shoes, think about replacing the springs, inspect the bearings/grease seals and replace if necessary, repack with grease, and put it all back together.
