...but one thing to make sure of is to make sure the shop doing the work has a large 3 bolt style drum puller so they can pull the rear drums. Those rear drums are on tapered axles and require a special puller to get them off. The typical modern shop may not have one large enough or at all. Older shops or those dealing in trucks may have a large enough puller but if the drums have not been off in years, be aware that may be a project in itself.


Howard: Amen! Double plus plus on the truck shop. Those big drum pullers are available from some u-rent-it kind of places, if you do it yourself. Even then, I've had to add extra leverage (thank you Archimedes) and use a BFH to get the drum off my 55 (same as 53 while 56 is different).
