Default Re: Brake Drums Won't Come Off
It's simple. The hub and the drum is one big honk'in piece. The drum is PERMANENTLY riveted to the hub. To service the shoes you pop the cap, take out the cotter, unscrew the castle nut and pull it off. The only time you de-rivet is to add disc brake kit. Sometimes you pull it off and it leaves the seal hanging and rear/inside bearing stuck on the spindle. If so, be careful how you proceed.
