Howdy all, I haven't been on here in awhile an now I'm about to pull my front drums on my 46 1.5 ton. I'm changing the front wheel cylinders this afternoon. Is there anything special I need to know regarding the front brake drum removal or is it pretty straight forward? I've done plenty of WILLYS Jeeps, but I haven't messed with the big bolts before brake wise.

Hy Lend-Lease 1.5, welcome back. Other than making sure you back the brake adjustment all the way off the brakes are similar to the Willy's just larger, good luck.

Job done! Once I removed the Hub cover plate and saw the castle nut and wheel bearing behind it I knew what to do. Drums came off easy after I loosened the old cylinders. Replaced both and bleed in 1.5 hrs. Thanks
