this humble acolyte would humbley ask of a
floating rear axle dis-assemble...
do i have to take the bolts and slide the axle out before i can remove the
rear wheel hub?
anything special i should know before i dis-assemble for rear brake
overhaul?
thnks

Amaual might help but nothing will replace our God given senses... these
being "sight" and "common".
IIRC, we are talking "old truck" here.... the drums are mounted "outboard".
No need to remove the hub to overhaul the brakes but far from me to expect
anyone to actually look at something before they ask questions.
Now... if there is a reason that you feel you need to remove the hub.... say
something unmentioned like a leaking axle seal.... the axle has to come out
to gain access to the hub nut... a special socket will be required......
There are a few "gotchas" to be had in this process....
If it was simple, do you think I'd have a job?

No, sometime in the 80's they upgraded the designs, you no longer have to
pull the rear free floating axel to remove the drum and brake assembly.

Two replys, one actually helping and another being an a.s.
