More 3/4 rear drum questions
Alright.. (taking 5 mins to condense my story).... OK!. Was using this awesome thread for research to replace my wheel cylinder .. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=283587 .. I bought the spindle socket with the 6 prongs on it. Its all good until this point. I found a huge nut after i took the shaft out. I tried using a large pair of channel locks to turn it. And DID seem loose but only maybe 1/16th of the circle. if that made sense
![]() Many thanks in advance. First is right after i took the shaft out. Second is that nut. Third is the socket i bought.

Re: More 3/4 rear drum questions
If you look in side there is a washer with teeth legs on it that Keep it from backing off Use a flat blade screw driver and lift them up to clear the nut In my 1965 I have the same rear end and my has a nut with groves in it and yours dose not so All i can say is take a flash light and look in side to see if there is something that is catching the nut

Re: More 3/4 rear drum questions
I thought the usually the tabs are bend around the inner nut to keep it from backing off, and the outer nut is a lock nut (been a while).
I just use a chisel and tap the nut loose.

Re: More 3/4 rear drum questions
Did something change on 72 models? I did not have to do any of this when I took my drums off. The drums are separate from the hubs on mine. Different Rear End?
Good luck! |

Re: More 3/4 rear drum questions
Yes the dana's have removable drums and corporate rears have inboard drums you have to pull the hub.
