Rob your old school. did you ever drill the drum around a stud to get it off? I never had, just a BFH! with a lug upside down on the stud and drive it out in one blow. There I said it late the hate begin!
 
I get so much I have seen it on the web. Usually tell them get it fixed on the web. Some good info on there but also alot of bad info out there.
Yeah, for me, the jury's out on all those free service manual downloads. I'm not real crazy about reprints. I like BOOKS. First editions, IMO are best because they seem to have the least mistakes. As they are reprinted, there are more mistakes......and down right exclusions. I can only imagine how the CD versions are.....and then finally the downloadable versions. Besides, the BOOK needs no lecktricity to work and I can put my HAND right on it. I guess I'm just old. That's cool, too.

Yup, I've done a LOT of them. I found a 5/8 metal cutting hole is DEAD perfect. Cut all the way THROUGH the drum and just scratch the surface of the hub. The drum will fall off.

The my Mopar scans are right on. I just print out what I need if I do not have the FSM. I am starting to get a hell of library on them though. Have most of the prestolite IPB from 70-30, alot of mopar mostly 60's. But I need them.

Yeah but what if you get a virus or something corrupt in your computer? Like Barney would say. Blewey.

I dont ever think I have cut that, just pushed them out usually. Reason is what keep the drum on afterwards in theory? The area it swedges into is gone. Never screwed up a stud either.
 
Front? Just drive he races out they are made to do that. Clean out the grease you will see where the punch fits. Use brass tapping them back in. Super easy. If he is checking the drums on a brake lathe have him do it with the new races in that way it will be "true" to the new bearing. I know your OCD!!!!!!!
I usually grind the od of old bearing and use it to drive wheel bearing in.
 
Morning!
Another rough night,and the low back pain is starting. There was no back pain when this started, so i dont know wtf is next.

If you push the studs out without cutting the swedged part of the drum, you will enlarge the stud holes in the hub and a new stud is much less likely to be tight when driven in. It can actually ruin the hub. ....and they don't grow on trees.
 
Worst thing is, we supposed to head out saturday to visit mil in alberta. So unless there is a dramatic change,thats not happening. Kim has been so excited to see her mom, its been a couple years.
