Just pulled over 350+ lbs of steel of the rear end not counting the 2 sets of 22.5 X 11 duals to get to them! 100 lb drums, 50 lb axles plus the 16.5" X 7" brake shoes. Now I know how to work on them and it sure saves the bucks doing it your self. Had another Trucker watching what I did so I did not screw up and he had the 1" Air Hammer to get the outer and inner lugs off. Nice having the right tools for the job! Turn in the cores Monday and will have it back together soon again. New shoes and drums will be nice on the steep hills this year. Mark H.
