Hi,
Do the drums come off seperately?
or
Do I remove hub with drum?

I'm swapping a 68 front suspension onto a 61 truck. (entire crossmember assembly)
Will I be able to use any of the 61 brake parts on the 68?
Thanks.
Pete

What do you want to do? If you want to work on the brakes or inspect them, pull the hub. For machining, you should leave them on the hub. If you are replacing the drums then of course they need to come off the hub.

I'm disassembling to do a brake job and turn drums.
Donor truck was sitting so I'm pretty sure it needs everything.

Thanks for quick response.

I would guess that you want to pull the hub. Always a good time to check and grease the bearings.
