I'm trying to replace the rear shoes and drums. The problem is I cant get the drums off the hubs. I've tried wd 40, heat and still no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks

Been a while and only one in the stable back when. Does this have a dust cap in the center of the hub? It may be a regular wheel bearing set up - cotter pin adjusting nut like most trailers or older cars than that,

It is a inner and outer wheel bearings. The problem is I can get the hub/drum off the car but cannot separate the hub/drum. I'm not sure if it needs to be pressed off or not. The new drums dont have the hub.

Thanks

Ok: If you don't see threaded hole(s) or a large probably phillips head bolt - that is used more on newer stuff then either it is just that stuck or if it is one part your replacement isn't correct.

If it is supposed to separate then position it on a large vice or anvil and whack away at it. Use wood, plastic, hard rubber if possible to not damage the hub. High heat like oxy acet would persuade it but I don't like using high heat on things near bearing. I'd sooner graduate to a hand sledge. Make sure hub is cleaned of rust and debris and the new drum fits on nice and true to the hub when you get to that part,
