RE: JPOR: removing swaged on brake drums

[Chuck Pedretti <chuckp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can't get the drum/Hub off the axle?  There is a big puller that JCW sells
for removing the drum/hub from the rear axleshafts.  Once you've got the
drum/Hub off you can press the studs out.  However, a 68 shouldn't have
swedged lugs, there should be 2 phillips screws holding the drum to the hub.

Good luck.

	I have a 68 CJ6 with the original brake drums/cylinder.   The 
drums are swaged on with the lug bolts.    Any know an easy way to 
get them off?    The only way I can think of is grind the heads off 
of the backing plate bolts and pulling the whole axle shaft/brakes 
out and then pressing the lug bolts out.
