Re: 32 PU rear brake drum loose
There is likely a problem with the taper on the axle or in the hub. Use Prussian blue to determine the contact of the taper between hub and axle. There may be a burr preventing good contact. Do this with the key removed. The problem could be the key.

Re: 32 PU rear brake drum loose
If you are running hydraulic brakes invest in a set of brake drum clips or safety hubs to keep the drum on in case of an axle failure. If the drum was that loose there is a good chance a crack has started in the axle that will eventually fail.
Has your axle and/or keyway been destroyed by a loose hub? How about a picture? Is it loose after the axle nut is torqued down? Charlie Stephens |
