hey guys,
as most of you know i have a 75 F-100 4x4. i think that has the dana 44 in the front. so any ways i wanted to start doing a little brake work. but i cant get the drum off the hub. well i really dont know if the whole hub comes off or if just the drum does.
if the whole hub must come off how do i do it. or if it dosent hwo should i get that darn thing off.
thanks for any help
Mitch

 

any one know how the front drums come off of a danna 44 axle in a 75 F-100?
thanks
Mitch
ill try to take some pics

 

i'm 99% sure the whole Drum/hub assembly must be taken off, wich will require a special socket to remove the nuts inside the hub.

 

This topic has been answered numerous time in the Drivetrain or Suspension/Brakes/steering" forums.

What you're asking is a specific question on how Ford assembled their Drums,Hubs and spindles

ya million that site was nothing about theses hubs. i dont know if i am giving out the wrong axle type or what.
but i pulled up the manual locking hub and took of the only C clip i could find and still can not get the drum to slide off. what else do i gots to do?
thanks
Mitch

It varies per the quality.

I buy raybestos brake parts.

Thanks

Million i checked on rock auto, and they have pics of the drums and they look like the wrong ones. or do they use the same pic through out the whole site?
thanks
Mitch

 

Looks to me like they use different ones

The first 3 have 2 balance weights

The 4th one down has 1 balance weight

 

but they say its for the front of the truck but it dosent have the lugs welded to the drum or the center hub.
if i take a pic of mine woudl you be able to tell me what i have?
thanks million
Mitch

 

Million i put some pics of the drum and axle in my gallery. if you could tell me what type of axle it is i would appricate it.
thanks a million, million

the drum comes off your hub.if there isnt any screws between the studs take your hub drum asembly and set it lock out side up put the lug nuts back on till the just flush with the stud and drive them out the back,with a lil help from a big hammer the 2 can be seperated
