help with drums
Have a 1975 F-100 that I am attempting to pretty much restore. It is in very good condition. 90% original. My problem is that I can not get the front drums off. The axle spins freely, and when the brakes are on it stops. This truck sat in a pine forest for 10 Years and the brakes have probably not been changed. Just want to check them and more than likely change to a brand name. Any suggestions on removing the drums? It is a 4x4. Dont want to break then.
Thanks

Read about this and the various hazards about the wheel falling off (do a search in the 67-72 forum) if the new drum is not pressed back onto the hub. Use a search on my name in the 67-72 forum and see how I hogged mine out so they do not have to be pressed on. Unless you are handy, I would have a machine shop do it for you instead.
