The drum is attached to the hub and comes off the shoes nicely, but I can't see a good way to take the drums off the hubs. It looks like they are riveted on and the lugs are "swedge" fittet into their holes in both the drum and the hub. Please enlighten me. Thanks - Scott

They should come off. Its not nessary to fasten them back on because the lug nuts hold it all together. Besides the rivets can interfear with some wheels. 
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
