Re: [FWDLK] rear hubs

["Larry C. Stanley" <peerless@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I also did this as a temporary fix until I found a hub puller. When I got
the puller, I replaced the drums. But better to have brakes than wrecked
car with intact drums. Just keep the lug bolts tight as this is all that is
holding the drums on.
