I don't have to remove that huge 462mm nut just to get the drums off, do I? Tabe, the Carfax man, Did you take those two 8 mm drum retaining bolts off? Did you release the parking brakes? You do not need to take the huge nuts off to get this done. A couple of whacks with a substantial soft faced hammer should work for most situations. There may be some corrosion between the drum and the hub. Hammering will loosen that up. BenT |
