front drum

I ve never had a vehcile with front drums. Do the from drums come off like a rotor? Do you just remove retaining nut and cotter pin then pull off? Thanks

Re: front drum

Yeah, if the rivets are still holding the drum onto the hub. Back the brake shoes off as much as you can, take the cotter pin out, the castle nut off, wiggle the hub/drum a little to push the outer bearing out enough to grab it out, and pull the whole hub and drum assembly off at one time.

Re: front drum

I like to knock the rivots off though to make them easier to remove, I like to knock the dust out every oil change.
