M211 Question ???

[hippiedude]

I`m replacing some leaking wheel cylinders... after removing the 18 lock nuts on the drum do i need a puller or a BFH...T.M.`s on order.. but I need to use the truck and want to be SAFE.... I just don`t like hitting stuff with a hammer .... thanks Tim

Can the drum be removed with the axle? and eliminate the need to remove all the drum bolts? I am going to look at my whell cyl's too.

wheel cylinders

When we did ours, we pulled the axle shafts, bearings and then the hub / drum as a unit. Allows you to repack the bearings.
Just my humble $.02

RE: wheel cylinders

I did mine like M215 did. The TM says to take off the drum and then take off the hub, if you're going to have to pull the hub anyway might as well pull them as an assembly, less work, don't forget to torque the bearing nuts on re-assembly.
