Which leads all the way to the following question : what do
you do to avoid this situation ?
I'm in the process of putting back the drums on the axle
shaft, and I'm still searching for an answer ... Grease ? Oil ? Nothing ? Tinker
Bell dust ?
I know that one partial solution is to free the drum from
its hub at the studs, so that you can work on the brakes without having to get
the hub off the axle shaft.
But the problem remains ... What shall I do to avoid
freezing the hubs on the rear axle shaft ?

PS : Sorry Frank to rebound on your email without having a solution to
your problem, but I felt this question needed to be asked.
Hello All,
While trying to convert the rear brakes on my '59 to the AAJ kit, I
couldn't free the drum. I tried several pullers and purchased the model offered
by the 300 Club. It worked well except for the passenger side drum wa frozen. It
got to the point where I snapped a lug wrench in half trying to muscle it off. I
didn't get hurt but that truck lug wrench will never be usabe again. I
actually mushroomed the axle shaft. After that we had to torch the drum off of
there and we still had trouble getting it off then! Anyways, I was wondering if
any of you out there have a good passenger side axle shaft for a '59 Plymouth V8
(8-3/4") rear.. I also need an 11" rear drum to press the hub out of for the
conversion. The drum itself can be past the point where it can no longer be
turned. I just need the hub out of it. If any of you have these parts for sale,
please contact me off list. Thanks for your time and trouble.
Take Care,
Frank
