      That one piece is the preferred set up for racing but expensive and not necessary for ordinary use. If you are an AMC guy, did you drop your jaw when he used the puller instead of taking out the screw that held the drum to the hub?

      @@johnsheetz6639 I threw rubber on my approximately 1989 Ford 3/4 ton two wheel drive. Glad I had real truck tires on it. We slowed it down from highway speeds to about 40 miles an hour. Got it off the road hello ways down and let the spare on it. Went down the road 10 MI again at interstate speeds. Through the rubber off the spare that we had just put on there. Now that tire was the factory original spare for that truck I am reasonably sure. About then I think my boy was 14 or so and he said Dad what else can happen.? I said please never ask that question cuz it'll happen. Let me down road at 40 miles an hour on the casings and when I say Casey not talking about sleeper dude 88. I like his channel as well. But I'm talking you can see the chords cuz that's all that was left. What happened the other Tire I'm back through the casing sorry to try it off and. I end up driving about 60 miles pulled into little town decent tire shop. The guy came out and looked at my truck went back in got every employee had five or six of them I believe pointed out at my truck and asked him what you think you needs? I was glad they all said tires. Even today many many years later I still got that truck with those new tires for my guy shop at the truck just sits in the barn. But I was a Good Samaritan went back and picked up my tread each time and put it in the back of my flatbed. Hell this is getting too long for a reply. I was just going to attach to the bumper of a push truck I've got on the farm. I did ask the owner of the tire shop if you could recap my tires and put the tread back on. I did it was such a straight face he just shook his head and we both have good laugh we're still friends this day. All three of those tires had 90% rubber and I guess that's the goal to say you just never know and they were not a Chinese knockoff Tire matter fact they're pretty expensive common brand and you don't buy them at a we sell everything department store.

  • @auteurfiddler8706
    @auteurfiddler8706 Год назад +2

    Well, for anyone unfamiliar with AMC: The three small bolts that hold the drum to the hub on the rear need to be removed. Typically, one or two or all three of them are removed and lost over the decades since the cars were built. They don't really need to be reinstalled since the wheel holds the drum to the hub. Their main purpose was to keep the drums from falling off in the factory before the wheels are installed on the car. Other car companies used little flat clips which disintegrate the first time you pull the drum for service.
    So, since he did not unscrew those three (all three were still present) small bolts, he used the puller. I was frankly surprised the bolts didn't break before the hub came off the axle.
    That puller is very valuable for servicing the brakes in a 1964 or older Mopar or for serving the axle for the AMC Javelin. But it is not needed at all to service the BRAKES on the Javelin.
