Has anyone taken pics of their tear down of a Ford 9"? Or, can someone tell me how to get the rear drums off the axle?
I got a media blasting cabinet from the little woman for Christmas and my first project was going to be cleaning up the rear axle, hitting it with some Hammerite, and then putting it back together. I wanted to start with the drums (not only to clean them up but also to see what surprised might be hiding there) and I can't seem to figure out how to get the damn drums off.
I have a Haynes for the F-100 of that year (76) and it says there is a little cut in the drum that needs a screwdriver put in to release the pressure the pads put on the breaks - but possibly because its musty, dusty and crusty, don't see a clear cutout and am not sure if its the same set up.
Anybody have any insight or pics I can take a look at? I can take pics of what I have if that helps too. Thanks.
