99 3500 dually 4x4 rear drum stuck
I’m pretty sure the brakes are locked up on the passenger side I’m looking for suggestions on how to get the rear drum off

Re: 99 3500 dually 4x4 rear drum stuck
I ended up buying 4 bolts the same as the bolts that bolt the axle in but longer and flipped the axle around then I put a big socket in between the axle and the axle tube and tightened the bolts a little bit at a time til eventually it came off. The brake pads were pretty much fused to the drum. Bfh was my first thought too but nowhere to really hit it.

Re: 99 3500 dually 4x4 rear drum stuck
A long, long time ago, on a Galaxie far, far away (or maybe it was a Fairlane), I learned to "paint" the axle flanges and hub rings with antiseize compound to permit easier removal of drums and rotors in future service. I was probably the one who would be doing it several years later, and didn't want to go through all that hassle again. Without something that hangs in there and doesn't wash out, a rotor or drum has a great tendancy to begin rusting and fuse to the hub, just as you describe.

Re: 99 3500 dually 4x4 rear drum stuck
Wouldn't it be easier to just remove the drum and hub together?
I have to do it that way on my K2500 10.5" full-float axle, the drum is on the "wrong" side of the hub flange, semi-permanently attached via the lug studs. Once the hub and drum assembly is removed from the axle, replacing the drum means pounding out the lug studs to separate it from the hub. But it shouldn't matter which side of the hub flange the drum attaches, to, if the drum is seized to the hub--take off the hub with the drum. Face it...you needed to pack the bearings with fresh grease anyway.
