Re: Rear tapered axles/ brakes

Funny story, I was beating one of my drums off in my driveway when it finally came off. It knocked me on my rear and landed in my lap. OUCH!!!

  As mentioned to Bill in his post, "Fearing the Worst", be sure to thoroughly 
  check your axle hubs after you  eventually win the battle in removing the 
  darn things. As for that battle, mine went on for several weeks when 
  removing the left rear drum/hub assembly. As earlier mentioned, you have to 
  fire up the acetylene, and your puller needs to be heavy duty and absolutely 
  centered.
  Go ahead and bang the devil out of it while your brave buddy applies the 
  heat to the center of the drum and the five wheel stud holes. Make sure he 
  stands clear of the drum as they sometimes do more than just "pop" off. 
  You'll get it eventually! Good Luck, Donny, 64 Belvedere.
