So got backing plate 4 nuts off and that's broke free along with e brake cable but axles are not coming!!! Harbor freight slide hammer on lug studs? Trying to change out pumpkin. Thanks in advance
flip the drums around with the nuts back on loosely and give it a little pull exactly the same as mine
Worked for me also, old trick. But sometimes it's not a little pull it's more like a Big Bang. It's the same principle as the slide hammer.flip the drums around with the nuts back on loosely and give it a little pull exactly the same as mine
We tried the log chain trick hooked to a buddys truck would just slide the car so we hooked the other axle to a big tree in 4x4 and about 10 feet of slack he hit it hard it would lift the car off of the jack stands axles would not budge we double ckecked all the nuts were off and the bolts were pulled back this was on a 63 biscayne wagon we ended up replacing the entire axle housing. Wished we could have video'd that was the funniest thing I ever saw.Surprised no one has brought up the log chain trick, wrap the chain around the axle flange then with about 5 or 6 feet of chain you give give it whipping motion, you may want to have something hooked to the axle so it won't come chasing you.
Did you have bib overhauls on with one strap hanging down when you tried this?
