motorheadTX Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I cant remove the rear brake drums on this (suspected) 1-ton 116 wheelbase pilothouse. I removed the 6 nuts retaining the axle and removed the axle. The brake drum w 6 nuts ...What do I do next. This is dramatically different from the cars and 1/2 tons models judging by the pics I have seen . What is the secret to the 1-ton? Pleas ebe very specific and or recommend a place where I can see this process. I dont want to damage anything. thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonstop Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 You need to take off the spindle nut, lock washer, and second nut inside the hub. Not sure of the size of the nut besides large. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorheadTX Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) OK, after removing the multi piece seal, the spindle nut / sealing surface are exposed. What sized giant socket do I need now. MY next question will be is where can I get brake parts and seals for this 1952 B-3-D- 116 thanks!
