Hi All, I had zero issues removing the brake drum and removed the studs at my sons shop. Everything is all set to go, I have to find 2 R studs and nuts to get it back together. I am going to try auto parts store. cleaning up the parts this weekend and putting together next week. I am also going to p...

I will try to get you all pictures before the weekend. Thanks!!

A couple more quick questions... Do I need any type of puller to get the Drum off to remove the bolts. I have the brake drum off already. What I see is a cotter pin with a castle type of nut, which appears to be loose. Anything I may be unsure of


Thanks again all...!

Hi Dick,

You are right, I think the terms I use are incorrect. Certainly will remove and have a machine shop remove the studs and replace with correct. thanks!

I'm sure my father in law had used other parts from cars he had. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago. However, I am in love with the car and will work it out . I appreciate all of your help and anyone else. Have a great week and to be continued next weekend. Hopefully, it will be much cool...

I do have the drum puller, it actually came off without it, just tapped with hammer on the corner and off it came! I assume the next thing would be to take the cotter pin off and take the hub off? Then take it to a machine shop and have them remove the studs and replace with correct R studs...

I must have been using the wrong word, it would be studs,....

They do not come out like yours, the nut comes off and the bolt remains in the hub

Correct, two were R and three were L's on the rear passenger wheel. The drivers side , both front and rear were L's. Can those be removed and replaced?

Hi Dan, Let me clarify, I apologize if this does not make sense :D ! There are five bolts coming out of the hub, two were changed along the way to R bolts, the other three were L bolts, my assumption was they were hammered out and replaced. As I tried to unscrew, I apparently went in the wrong direc...

Hi John,

Would I be able to hammer them out? You are saying pressed out. Would I have to remove the hub and take to a shop and have them pressed out ? Probably a dumb question, but I have been in the garage in this 90 plus degree weather for the past two hours, brain fade!!!

Hi All, Sorry I have not been on for some time. I have had a lot of things happening that I was not able to post or get together for the Carlisle show in years. I am hope that 2017 will give me time to catch up and see some of you at the show. My question is concerning the back rear passenger hub. C...

HI Dick, Thanks for the quick reply. It is a three on the tree manual. I think there is a manual somewhere in the pile of things we had received from my father in law. I have a 78 Triumph, obviously no relationship to the MOPAR, but it has a drain plug on the bottom and a fill plug on the side. I di...

Hi All, Been a while since I was on this site. Been very busy and now returning to getting the 59 back on the road. Need some advise on how to change the fluid on the three speed tranny. I'm sure my father in law, who has passed a long time ago, changed the automatic to the three speed. Any help wou...

Thanks Ricky, will look for a good deal in that size...
