Re: 67 C30 rear drum removal ?
Big learning curve ahead of you.
First thing to do is download the service manuals if you don't have them. Then read up on the brake and axle sections. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=558016 You are right in that the axle shaft does need to come out of the housing then the outer axle bearings. This allows the hub/brake drum assembly to be slid off the housing. The parts are heavy and the axle bearing lock nut is torqued to 175 lb-ft. The hub oil seal is easily damaged during servicing too. It would be best to have some help the first time through.

It takes a special socket to get the lock nuts off and back on. You can get it at most parts stores.
