Does anyone manage this site anymore?
OK, I have a '79 narrow track with an AMC 20 axle. Tomorrow is the day of work... Doing the rear drums. I am getting in and spraying down with PB tonight, and I don't see that the drums should just slide off. It looks like this thing in the center needs to come off first. After looking through Chilton's and Haynes, I am getting conflicting info. It sounds like I have to take off this dustcap, cotter pin, and axle shaft nut. Is this right? The torque spec to put it back on is 250 foot pounds! How do I do that??? Here is a picture. Please let me know what it will take to get this drum off. Thank you!
