Subject:Rear Drum removal/rear shoes replaced?
From:Tim Gardner
Date:Tue, 9 Jun 1998 00:51:44 EDT

Hello,

Today I checked out my Bentley manuel and noticed that sussposidly to do the
rear shoes you need to use a wheel puller?  I then went outside with my father
and checked out the brakes and how to get at them.  Im not sure if this is
syncro spectfic but there is a pin that holds a large nut and the hub.  Now
this must be removed inorder to replace the rear shoes?  Do I need the wheel
puller or can I just bend the pin, take it out and unscrew the nut that holds
the hub on?  Please help me out with how to do this.  Thank you for any
information.
