Post by 65flatbed »

Just purchased a 1965 flatbed with a bad rear wheel cylinder and i am not sure how to get drum off. The truck is a dually and i am told it used to be a wrecker.

Should be similar to this. You gotta pull the axle, remove the spindle nut and pull the hub and drum off together with the bearings, sort of like a front wheel, but lots bigger. Never mind the lock wedge. Yours probably has a locking ring with tabs and a couple hub nuts.
Google Full Floater rear end and look for one that looks like yours.
