Think we might have a semantics situation here. What you're
saying doesn't make sense. I have to assume that you're
calling the 'wheel' which mounts the 'tire' the 'hub'....it's not.
As Tim pointed out, the front 'brake drum' and 'hub' are an
assembly, if everything is off as you posted, then the
'hub and drum assembly' were the first part that had to be
removed before you could get to the shoes. At that point all
that's left is the backing plate with the wheel cylinder
bolted to it by two bolts. And as Tim mentioned, and as we
used to say at Christmas time when putting together the
kids new toys, if all else fails, read the instructions.
