Front brake drum removal

[Stingerdorian]

Hello everyone, well I’m on to the front brake drums now for 68 Charger project. Any info on how to get the front ones off? Like the rear studs the front studs some of them broke off as well. As always thanks again. I’ll get pictures up tomorrow.

Loosen the adjuster and that should help remove the drum hub assembly. Or just take the wheel bearing out and that way you can work on it easier.

OK, take the wheel off. Take the bearing cap off. Straighten and remove the cotterpin, then take the nut and washer off. Pull back on the brake drum a little and then push fully back on. Now remove the front bearing. Now pull the drum off. If it doesn't come easily use a brake spoon to adjust the brake shoes in, and then remove the drum.
