Brake drum removel

Post by GOPAR »

I did a search but nothing showed up. I tried to pull the drums off my sweptline, but only one of the four came off. I was wondering if these 1970 W200's were full floating so you had to pull the whole axle. I would appreciate some guidance. thank you very much

For the rear drums, you must pull the axle first.
The 200 series DANA 60 rear ends in Sweptlines
were full floaters.

But what about the front they are semi floating I know that but I could only get one of the front drums. I thank you for your help. I have been learning something new every day that I am on this forum.

To get the front drums off, you'll have to remove
the lock-out hub assembly. Inside the hub, there will
be the same type of arrangement as the rear.... 2
large [2.125"?] nuts with a tabbed washer in between
them. Before you re-assemble, you should buy new seals
for the hubs and, of course, re-pack the bearings
after making sure they're in good shape. Also, make
sure the lock-outs are clean, move freely and are
properly lubricated.
