Removing brake drum 2009

[kurthb]

Attempting to remove brake drum, looks like the hub and drum are one assy? or is it that you can just buy it as one assy and they can be separated?

The drum is so rusty that it appears to be one assy.

Trying to remove dust cap, but it want one on hand just in case I have to destroy it getting it off.

Appreciate the help

Yes, one assembly, should be able to have about any auto parts store get you new dust caps.

Starting in 2005, the hub and drums are separate components. The near interference fit of the drum on the hub causes removal difficulty, especially if it's been years since the drums were pulled off, and the drums are rusted onto the hubs. But with heat, penetrating oil, and lots of pounding, you'll eventually get the drum off the hub. Deano
