    1972 D300 Front Drum Brake Questions

    Well, got lucky on the left rear. All I had to do to get it to turn was back off the self-adjuster from behind thru the access hole. Thanks for all the help. All I have to do now is find somebody to take this abomination on 6 wheels. MT

    1972 D300 Front Drum Brake Questions

    You've never had it happen because you probably never let your rig sit for 20+ years like my 95-year old Dad did. I'm trying to help him out. The rears have been stuck for over 12 years. It looks like the shoes are rusted to the drum. I much prefer using a puller; I spent $50 on eBay for that...

    1972 D300 Front Drum Brake Questions

    Chisel worked great, thanks 7mopar. Hub/drum was going nowhere, so I had to bolt a chain to the lug studs, then hook a tow strap to the chain, and hook the other end of the strap to the rear suspension of my car, and put it in drive...it worked. The bearing went flying like 5 feet. I won't be...

    1972 D300 Front Drum Brake Questions

    This thing has my number...taking a shot at the rear, appears to be a Dana 60 based on the diff cover...that first big nut that you're supposed to be able to remove easily once you bend back the tabs on that retainer thing behind it, won't budge. Anybody know the socket size? Seems like 2 5/8 or...

    1972 D300 Front Drum Brake Questions

    I went as far as I could on the star wheel, and I guess it just got stuck too, because once I got the hub/drum off, there was more to go, D.

    Closing this off, I got the hub/drum assembly off today using a heavy duty hub puller. Thank you all for the help. I was totally clueless coming into this, MT

    1972 D300 Front Drum Brake Questions

    7mopar - please see attached. Of course it doesn't hold the wheel on - brain freeze by me on that one. But I'm not sure what it does hold on. It think it's either 2 1/8 or 2 1/4. I have some old repair books but I don't know the system, ie, Bendix, whatever. Any help is appreciated, MT

    1972 D300 Front Drum Brake Questions

    Hi all - I'm a newbie here. I'm trying to get a wheel unstuck on a '72 Travel Queen motorhome which I'm told is on a Dodge D300 chassis. It's drum brakes and there are not just big lug nuts but a huge nut smack in the middle that also appears to secure the wheel. It's over 2" so I don't...
