Brake drum replacement question

[Blue79]

Hi I am about to replace the drums on my c20 it has a 14 bolt axle and the hub is in front of the drum how would I go about taking off the hub from the drum do I just knock out the lug studs and it comes off or am I miss something

 

[PrairieDrifter]

Yep. Pull the axle shafts, pull the hub nuts and locks off, pull the drum and hub off, knock out the lug studs.

if you can get your hands on a brass punch or bronze punch it will save your lug nuts from mushrooming i use a bronze punch that is thicker then the lug nuts and have never had an issue

Or just spin a sacrificial lug nut on and use it as protection for the lugs when pounding them out.

This is everything you will ever need to know about the 14-bolt. He has a link in there to the military CUCV axle instructions as well, which will give you step-by-step with pictures.

You can rent the correct axle nut from autozone for free also, just FYI. You will need it to properly torque the hub back on.
