I have a 1953 M381A which closest resembles a 1955 CJ5...
The driver's side rear drum has 3 of the 5 lugs busted off of it. (The former owners didn't get the reversed threads)
Now I need to get the drum off to replace the wheel bearings and a drum puller will not attach to the studs. The 3 remaining studs are not in a convenient pattern....
Any suggestions?
How would you suggest hooking the drum after the studs are pushed through?
Ahhhhh- The old "How Do I Break the Hub/Drum Loose From a Tapered Axle But Three Studs Are !&#^ Broken" question.
Loosen off the hub nut (but not *too* loose) then go for a short drive on a bumpy road.
Repeat until the hub/drum is loose.
For other possible solutions go to
