68 K20 D44 hubs

Does anyone have a schematic of how these hubs come apart and go back together?

The Chevrolet service manual I have doesn't cover what I gotta do in the detail I need.

Here's the deal, I have to rebuild the brakes. Do I need any special tools to get the hubs apart, and then put them back together after I rebuild the drum brakes?

Thanks!

Re: 68 K20 D44 hubs

You shouldn't have to take your hubs apart just to rebuild brakes!

I'm guessing you've got closed knuckle front axle? I found a book, "The Chevy Owner's Bible" or something close to that a few years back. It was the only book I could find that went into a tear down of the closed knuckle hubs.

Good luck

Thanks for paying attention... I appreciate it.
