How do I remove the rear end

It's really pretty simple. Jack the truck up and rest it on jackstands on the frame of the truck. Remove the wheels, brake calipers "if it's disc brakes drums if it's drum brakes" remove the brake cable from the park brake assembly, remove the brake fluid lines from the wheel cylinders if it's drum brakes, remove the bolts holding the driveshaft to the rear yoke, remove the bolts holding the rear end to the leaf springs while the rear end is supported with the jack and then slowly let the jack down.... It's out!

How to install drum on a xr3 1983

Loosen the rear wheel nuts, raise the vehicle and support it on jack stands. Block the front wheels and remove the rear wheels from the vehicle. Remove the two screws that secure the brake drum. Grasp the brake drum and pull it off. If it won't come off, thread two bolts of the correct size and thread pitch into the two threaded holes near the hub of the drum, Tighten the bolts and the drum will be forced off the hub. [WARNING, the dust created by the brake system may contain asbestes, which is harmful to your health. Never blow it out with compressed air and don't inhale any of it. Wear a dust mask and spray liquid brake cleaner on the brake shoes to clean them].

How to change broken stud on rear axle 1997 ford explorer

I am assuming you are talking about a wheel lug stud. The lug studs are pressed in from the inner side of the drum or rotor or axle flange depending on how your vehicle is equipped. You have to remove the wheel and drum or rotor to get access to the back side. Drive the broken stud out from the front after you have removed the drum or rotor and set the new one in from the back and tap it into the hole until set as the rest are. If you cant get it set all the way you can finish setting it by pulling it into place when you tighten the lug nuts on reassembly. The part should be under $10.00

How does the rear brake drum come off of a 96 nissan pickup?

Removing the rear brake drums vary little from one vehicle to the next.First,loosen the lugs on the rear wheels,release the hand brake, block the front wheels,jack up the rear and use jackstands.Then remove the rear wheels.Looking at the drum after the wheels have been removed, you will notice two threaded holes one on each side of the axle flange.Give the brake drum a smart rap or two with a plastic mallet or piece of wood and spray the flange w/ WD 40 or brake parts cleaner.Obtain a bolt with the exact size and thread to fit the hole. I found it useful to "borrow" such bolt from around the work area-My favorite is the one fastening a cable or a hoseclamp to the differential.If that don't fit, look around under the hood:there's one there you can use.Thread the bolt into the hole alternating from one hole to the other.The bolt pushes the drum against a flange inside and removes the drum.After work, adjust the star wheel brake adjuster so that the drum turns with hand push with a little drag.

Broken rear wheel stud on a 2005 ford focus zx4 se

  1. Step 1 Buy a new stud. Make sure you purchase the right size. If you're not sure what size to get, wait until you remove the stud and take it with you to the store.
  2. Step 2 Check the area of the spare tire in the trunk for the jack and the jack tools since you'll need to raise the car to replace the wheel stud on your Focus. Be sure to block the tire diagonal to the jack.
  3. Step 3 Use the jack to raise the Focus. Remove the wheel Take off the caliper and either hang it by a mechanics wire or lay it up so it doesn't dangle by the brake line. Remove the rotor. If you're working on back wheels, you have to remove the emergency brake clip first. You could have drum brakes in the rear. If they're drum brakes, remove the drum.
  4. Step 4 Hunt for an opening behind the hub that allows you to remove the stud. Line the stud up with the hole. You may have to take off the hub and put it in a vise if you can't drive it out the back.
  5. Step 5 Hit the stud with a mallet and drive it out the back of the hub. Push another stud into the opening. This is tough work, but you only need to push it far enough to thread on a wheel bolt.
  6. Step 6 Put on a wheel bolt and begin to tighten it. As you do, the stud starts to pull through. Add more bolts as necessary until you seat the stud. Check in the back of the hub. When the head is flush with the stud, you seated it.
  7. Step 7 Remove the extra bolts and reassemble the parts that you took off to replace the wheel stud on the Ford Focus. Put the wheel back on the vehicle and tighten down the wheel nuts.

I need to know how to replace the rear brake drums.

First block the tires on the front of the car, front and rear of the tire. place the transmission in park, do not set the parking brake. Jack up the rear end, use jack stands on the rear. You should loosen the lug nuts on the wheels before jacking up.
With the truck lifted and properly supported, remove the wheels. This will expose the drum. Tap off the drum gently with a light hammer, the drum should pull off. Remove drum, it is a good idea to replace the shoes at the same time. This is done by removing the adjuster, the springs, then replace shoes as removed. Use brake cleaner on new drums before putting on, install the drum same as removed, put on wheel, lower truck and tighten the lug bolts. To adjust, turn star inside the rubber grommet on inside of drum. then you can adjust automatically by placing vehicle in reverse and apply the brakes until snug. This will get you done. Enjoy.

Removing rear drum

You need to get a bolt with the same diameter and thread pitch as the brake drumretaining screws. On my 1997 Escort that's an 8mm x 1.25 thread pitch bolt. The length should be about 12mm. or larger. Don't get a bolt that's longer than about 20mm. The bolt goes into a hole in the brake drum, bearing down on a plate inside the hub. You can't use a brake drum retaining screw because you need to be able to apply more torque to the fastener than could be safely applied to a jacked vehicle
