Re: Steven's comment to Henry:
Henry:
The rear drum came off when you removed the
wheel? If so then your car has the wrong rear axle. The '59
rear axle uses a tapered drum and axle with a castle nut holding it
alltogether. It takes a serious puller and lots of patience to
get those back drums off.
Steve B. Question:
If someone changed the drum, and did not have the drum swedged back onto
the hub, then the drum would come off without pulling the hub...right?
This is what was done on my DeSoto...which has the same tapered axle. I
know that this was exactly what was done to my DeSoto, cause my husband did this
to my DeSoto to avoid paying someone to swedge the drum back on.
