[VAC] Re: 1968 Globetrotter brake drums

Max,
 Remove the bearing cap by prying it off. Remove the cotter pin holding
the nut. Remove the nut. Pull the brake drum off towards you, being
careful to catch the bearing before it falls into the dirt.

You might have to back off the brake adjustment to get the drum off. To
do that, remove the little rubber plug in the adjustment slot at the
bottom of the backing plate and use a large screwdriver or brake
adjusting tool to turn the Star Wheel. Direction varies with the person
who installed the adjuster last, with some you move the tool towards the
center of the brake assy. to tighten, with others, you move it towards
the center to loosen. Adjusting while turning the wheel will tell you in
short order.
