Removing Brake Drums for Differential Leak Repair

Hi, I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. He's going to pull the drum off this side and reach through to the break backing plate and back the axle retaining bolts out of there so that the axles can be removed allowing the gear carry to slide out the front of the axle housing. There's a hole in the end of the axle you can see there. That's where you gain access to the four retaining bolts for the axle, so you turn it to each one of the location were the bolts are and you can fish a wrench through there to get to that nut and you can see there's four of them, one, two on the top and then another two on the bottom.
