Re: hub socket teeth wont grab while trying to remove rear drums HO52
it'd been a few years since I've dug into one of these... is there a lock tab washer in there?

Glad to hear it. When I did mine, a cold chisel was my friend.

I did mine a couple months ago. truck hasn't moved since then.. but, i assume you need to bend that back when you put them on? lol : P What do i need to worry about if i don't?

yes they need bent back. This is a locking washer, it helps keep the nut from backing off.
If it backs off while driving, bad stuff can happen. |

I only use that socket for the assembly on a torque wrench.
