removing rear brake drum on 52 300

Posted by Boro On 2007/12/2 15:18:02

Now that I have finally gotten the tire off, which did necessitate me letting some air out of it, I am having difficulty removing the drum. I have removed rear drums on numerous other vehicles and having adequate information to do so. I have the Packard repair manual and I can not find in it a view of the drum actually off the rear. I can not find an exploded view of the assembly.

I am making an assumption that the drum comes off without me removing the large axle nut. Can someone tell me if that is the case. Or if I do need to remove the axle nut.

Any help appreciated.
