Default Re: removing rear drums on 2500

Well, I don't think this drum is coming off without removing the bolts form the hub. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks to me like the drum and that outer hub business are all one piece.
The drum rotates freely, there is not parking brake on the rear drums, I think the parking brake locks up something at the rear of the transmission, and I think that is how it is for all 2500 and 3500 models.
Since you mentioned the star wheel access hole, I don't have any on my front backing plates. Not sure how one goes about adjusting the brakes after a rebuild.
