So after the axle is removed will that enable the brake drum to be removed? I've never taken one of these larger trucks brake drums off. The next size down (1 ton) brake drums have 2 flat head screws holding the brake drum in place (the lug bolts and nuts do the real work). I tried to get a brake drum of one of those without noticing the screws (covered in grime) for an hour. My friend Kenneth Crenwelge walked up and asked "Did you remove the screws?". Sure made it a lot easier.
