ok .. I have a 93 hatchback ....

I'm baffled...

loubsubz sold me a spare rear suspension that he had lying around .. for him..

so I have it in my basement and I'm tryong to remove the rear drums and basically remove everyth9ing fromt he rear trailing arms how in gods name is the rear hub or spindle or whatever it's called with the studs on them suppose to come out ????

anyone???

take the drum off, take off the cap on the hub, unbolt the bolt, should be a 32mm?? and slide the hub off. Might need a puller to get it off.

with the wheels on and the car is on the ground, in the center of the wheel there is a round dust cover...pop the metal dust cover off with a prybar or screw driver...it will be sized on so u will probably bend and warp the cover , no worries its just a dust cover,,,, under neath will be a huge 32 mill or 34 cant remember, maybe even a 28mill nut, you will need a big breaker bar or air gun to crack that ****... once its cracked, jack the car up remove the wheel and drum, then remove the big nut, then the hub and bearing assy should slide right out.

ebrake might be strong enough to hold the torque of cracking that nut, but i do it on the ground with the wheels on anyway, for safety reasons...

ok the suspension I got it already off the car and is the rear suspension... we are not talking about the fronts.... there is no 32 mm or anything close in size to that on these drums....

I'll take pictures

i know you are not talking about the fronts. Take the dust cover off the rear hub and you'll see a 32mm nut. The dust cover is the circle thing in the middle of the hub.

oh but there is its hiding behind the metal dust cover on the drum
