Hello ,
I need to know how to replace the brake drums on the rear of my 1989 Ford Tempo. I purchased two new brake drums, a good brand, made in USA .
My question is about the hub. The drum seems to be a press fit on the hub. When I remove the brake drum from the car, the drum and hub come off as an assembly.
Am I supposed to press the hub out of the existing drum and press it into the new brake drum ?
Are the studs a press fit into the hub ? Is there anything else that I need to be aware of ?
Thanks for the help. This is the first time I have had to do this. In the past I changed the brake shoes, but did not have to replace the drums.
