    I can get twice as long on a set of brakes as most other drivers. Have just got to use your head, let the Jake work and don’t run right upon a stop before starting to slow down.

    Depends on how much work you’re willing to do. A torch and sledge hammer, PB blaster, beat at least the roller out, if the bushings still stuck, beat it out with a chisel, or use a sawzall. Then clean up the hole real good so the new bushing goes in without crunching it, and rollers aren’t too tight, and actually roll. Or just do like most and re use the stuck rollers. As long as they’re not worn or off centered. No anti seize. I seriously doubt the bottom rollers ever move anyways. That’s why they’re always seized up.

    I bought the Tiger tool press to get mine out the first time, and installed the new ones with anti-seize. Tiger recommends using a 3/4 impact on it in the instructions LOL. It's a beast. Heck of a pop when the crusty ones finally surrender.

    After anti-seize they can be serviced with an air hammer and driver without much struggle. +1 on reaming the rust out of the bore before pressing in the new bushing. Anti-seize on new anchor hardware eliminates about 95% of the cussing from the next brake job, and the shoes wear better.

    Yeah 3/4 M18 will do the trick. Half inch probably but I used my 3/4, that was some hard hammering probably a little too much for the 1/2. I use a little sand paper to clean the bores just enough so the shims can basically be pushed in by hand then generous anti-sieze. I had some that were seized so good I couldn't beat the mofo's out and I was concerned about busting the cast ear off. I didn't have an acetylene torch and my yellow torch bottle just wasn't doing the trick either. Tiger tool is more of a luxury for guys like us doing brakes every now and then. If I was I doing them every day it would be a must have. Saves a lot of time. They have a lot of nice tools.
