|
|
I pulled one of my rear wheels today and discovered the brake backing plate has a good sized split in the bottom plus it is twisted. Read up on it and it does not appear too difficult to disassemble just need a puller to pull the hub and drum from the shaft. Anything else to be aware of? Thanks all. |

I moved your post from "Photo Albums requests and Album Issues" to this "Technical Knowledge Base Board".
You may get lucky if the last guy that put the rear hub/drum on used some Anti-Seize. So loosen the nut and smack the drum with a large ballpean hammer and if it pops loose just press on and follow the steps in the manual.
If it doesn't pop loose then you will need to find a proper puller:
The preferred puller:

Is that puller jeep specific? Where would I find one if I end up needing it? |

As Wes says, keep an eye on e-bay, I bought mine for $30 w/shipping! Nobody else bid on it! It's an older one, OTC I think, not the cheap overseas copies.

Did you get a USA made puller Lee and if so what brand is it? I was just wondering because if I do end up needing one I want to make sure I get a quality one. |
