[T2] 71 Bus Rear brakes

[Jim Muir]

I got the old shoes off without removing the hub.  Trying to get the new
shoes on is proving to be the problem.  I looked up the process on the
internet and got a photo of the brakes with the hub removed.  It seems
to me having the hubs removed would give me more room.  However, my book
does not say anything about removing hubs on 71.  It does say removing
the drum and the hub on prior to 71 required a puller.

 

Thanks.

You should be able to remove the shoes without removing the hub.

 

What problem are you encountering? Some brake backing plates allow for
the use of the retaining pins, later backing plates don't, but no
telling whether or not yours are stock, if you have the retaining pins
make sure they are removed.

Does the wheel hub have to come off to install new shoes?  If so, do I
need a puller?
