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.
