Well Johnbkobb i started my project on saturday April 28th and i used blocks of wood to set the drums on and used wooden blocks to hit the hub, but nothing i beat the hub like it owed me money but it did not moved at all. So i looked thru the yellow pages, and found that Federate Auto Parts Store will press out the old hub for me for $20.00 so i will go there this friday to get this done. MY hat off to all you mechanics now truly see why some thigs are priced high. Its because of all the trouble you may have go through.T) But now i know for future reference what needs to be done. Im buying a table vise S:)

Quoted From johnbkobb:

Nice try but that is not what he is trying to do. He wants to remove the bearing hub from the brake drum, not remove the brake drum from the vehicle. This would have been good if it had shown the brake drum after it was removed from the vehicle (inside and outside) but it didn’t. The spindle goes through the bearing hub which is pressed to the drum with the 5 studs. I’ve got a 90 Caravan and I think I know how it works.

The picture in your reply are the exact drums i have wow ok i will try this this weekend

You are correct this is what im referring to and my vehicle is a front wheel drive 3.3 engine the wheel im working on are the rear brakes (not) front these are disc and easy to do. do you have videos of the rear brake removal and installation.

hi thanks for a fast reply but those videos didnt answer my question, I hope the photos may help abit better. Photo 1 is how my drums looks, Please view the lug post, NOW look and photo 2 this is a picture of my new drums without the lug post, now When the old drums are removed the lug nut threaded posts are still attached to the old drums while it is now in my hands and off the vehicle, how do i remove the lug posts and place them into the new drums.?

in other words when the old drums are removed and im holding it in my hands, it looks like the lug posts are made as one piece onto the drums
