I think Naylor want to know how to get to the brake shoes. You'll have to remove the hub and drum as an assembly on a 48. I'm sure you don't have a 3 ton as indicated on the title. The title just states what it's licensed for. You probably have a 1 1/2 or a 2 ton. Either way, you'll have to pull the little cover in the center of the hub and pull the axle out. Under the axle, there's a large nut with a tab bent over it. Straighten the tab and remove the first nut, then the lock, then the next nut. Now the drum is not fastened to the spindle, but still may not come off. The shoes can drag on the drum so you'll have to work at getting the drum to pull off over the shoes. Good luck and don't breath the dust!
