I didn't mean to start another long and nasty thread here, but, I have seen the rear drum removed from a Vanagon without removing the 500ft/lb nut the holds the hub on. This is the way the VW dealer here does it all the time. Yesterday I tried removing my drums and there is no way they would come off. I removed the two bolts that "hold" it in place but the area around the hub would not let go. I tried liquid wrench, wd 40, tapping it with a hammer - no go... any suggestions here? I'd like to put new brakes on the rear before heading to Saskatchewan on the 1st. Thanks in advance!
