Re: Exactly how to remove rear hubs on 72 C20
Judging from the condition of that hub and drum on the outside, I wouldn't be a bit surprised that after the axle's pulled and the bearing nuts removed, that drum wont budge. That often requires cutting the heads off the nail pins that hold the shoes in place, and then cutting/or removing the wheel cylinder bolts and using a punch to collapse the shoes enough to remove the drum. The early Full Floaters didn't have adjuster slots in the backing plates, they were in the drums themselves and often served no use at all...A cutting torch to cut springs inside the hole where the wheel cylinder "was" will allow you to collapse the shoes enough to remove the drums...
