INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is a lofty goal, but it's super important. If you are seeking love from others but don't love or even like yourself, you'll never be truly satisfied or fulfilled. Learn to value yourself and believe in your inherent worth. Give yourself time to learn how to love yourself. It's not something that will happen overnight. If you are struggling with self-love, try talking to someone about it. Opening up to a friend or even to a therapist could make a big difference in how you see yourself. Start by recognizing how you judge yourself and what your inner critic tells you. When you notice these thoughts, replace them with positive affirmations to help reframe your thoughts. For example, if your inner critic says, "You're so stupid. Why would anyone love you?" take a moment to acknowledge that thought. Then, reframe it by saying to yourself, either out loud or internally, "I am worthy of being loved and people care about me." Accept yourself the way you are, flaws and all, and recognize that those flaws and imperfections are part of what help connect you to others. People feel intimidated by others who claim to have it all together, and people who try to be perfect all the time often come across as inauthentic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to improve or better yourself, but there is a difference between self-improvement and perfection. Work at yourself, try to be a better person, but remember to give yourself grace and embrace your flaws, too. You really can't please everyone, and if you try to, you're going to wear yourself out and lose yourself in the process. Try saying some of these affirmations when you find yourself fixating on whether or not other people like you: I am confident in myself. I can live my life without worrying about what other people think of me. I am happy with myself. I make my decisions for me, not for anyone else. I accept and love myself, and that is what is most important. Everyone wants to be loved and likedthat's a normal and healthy part of being human. Not everyone will love you though, and some people may even dislike you. If you can accept yourself and focus on the positive relationships in your life, it'll make it much easier to deal with the inevitable rejections and conflicts that will come up. Try thinking about it this way: do you genuinely like or love everyone you meet? Chances are, there are some people you just don't click with for whatever reason. Not everyone is going to be for you, just like you won't be for everyone, too.

SUMMARY: Believe that you deserve to be loved. Replace negative self-talk with positive self-talk. Release yourself from the idea that you can ever be perfect. Stop worrying about what other people think about you. Understand that not everyone will love you and that is okay.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This cap will be in the center of the hub and can be removed by simply prying away from the hub. This will expose the retaining nut. There will be a pin in front of the retaining nut that prevents the nut from loosening (referred to as a cotter pin). Remove it by straightening the bent end of the pin and prying it out of its hole with pliers or a screwdriver. Using a wrench or ratchet, turn the nut counter-clockwise (to the left) to loosen it. If the nut is stuck lubricate it with WD-40 or similar lubricant. Some drums have small bolts holding them to the hub. If this is the case you will need to remove those bolts. Pull the drum straight off of the hub. You may have to wiggle a little to get it started. If the drum appears stuck and will not pull off, you should: Check to make sure all bolts holding the drum to the hub are removed. Check to see if the drum is getting caught on the brake shoes. This step is only necessary if your drum is getting caught on the brake shoes. You will need to look on the back side of the backing plate (the steel plate on which the brake components are mounted) for a small rubber plug. Removing this plug will provide access to the brake shoe adjuster. Use a flat head screwdriver or a brake adjuster bar to retract the brake shoes. The adjuster is designed to self-adjust the shoes into a tightened position, so loosening them may be tricky. If the drum gets harder to turn as you adjust, you are going in the wrong direction. Once the drum is removed you can continue.

SUMMARY:
Remove the grease dust cap. Pull out the cotter pin. Remove the retaining nut. Inspect the drum. Attempt remove the drum. Retract the brake shoes.
