Coenut Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 How heavy is the hub and drum combo on a dayton rear axle setup. I will be rebuilding the rear brakes on the f. I'm looking for tips to remove this without damaging parts, or hurting myself. I thought of making a dolly that will lift and support tires, hub drum. Allowing me just unbolt axle and axle nut, and slide complete unit off of axle housing. Any thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Just use a flat sheet of metal or plywood greased up good. It will slide no problem. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebrake86 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I usually wrap a couple of fan belts together and loop it under the hub, then pull it off. It works best with two people. Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRH Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Heavy enough to kick your ass. Leave the tires on and use a sheet of vinyl mudflap or something similar. Daytons are why we have wheel dollies, hub/drum is about 325lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
