Flanged axle removal??

Now I'm really confused. Your first post says you're working on the drivers side rear drum but now you say that it has hubs with two big nuts that you removed. That tells me you must have full floating rear axles to have hubs. If you bolt thhe wheel back on can you turn it? If you can, the shoes aren't rusted to the drum.

 

When I originaly started this thread it was my drivers side rear. And OldJeeps has asked another question about removing a front drum. That is why we were asking if he has dissasembled the hub. So yes if you read the first part of the thread then jump to the last response it will not make much sense.

 

Thanks; I'll have to go digging in the crud (at least I think there's crud there) to see if there is a second pair of cam adjusters.

As for the two that I have loose, once the lock-nut was backed off they seemed fairly "floppy", but I'll double check that they are backed off as much as possible.

Hopefully that will do the trick and if it doesn’t I’ll be back at the start of next week with an update.

 

Sorry for confusing things.

 

How many different styles of adjusters are out there?

I took a close look at the 6 o'clock position on the uncooperative cj6 and didn't see any bolts sticking through. What was there looked and felt like the heads of a couple of rivets. What's going on with this jeep?

Since I wasn't sure what to make of this finding I made the rounds of other portions of the collection with the following results:
46 CJ2A - didn't look at (also has a frozen front left = next project)
47 CJ2A - adjuster nuts at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock on the backing plate
47 CJ2A - adjuster nuts at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock on the backing plate
?? CJ6 (current project) - adjuster nuts at 3 & 9 o'clock with a pair of what look like rivet heads at 6 o'clock
?? M38A1 - adjuster nuts at 3 & 9 o'clock with a pair of what look like rivet heads at 6 o'clock
?? CJ6 - backing plate has access holes for the star wheel adjuster

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to proceed on this uncooperative CJ6?

 

the ones with the 3 and 9 position are the 'late' style 9" brakes. the one with the hole for the star wheel are either a 10 or 11" brake. pics would help.

 

Will try for some pictures, but it will be a while because I forgot my camera this weekend and life is about to get really busy for a few weeks.

But the question remains, what's the deal with the ones with what look/feel like rivet heads (or perhaps the head of a carriage bolt) at the 6 o'clock position?

 

for early CJs, 2 styles I am aware of
CJ2A and 3A have 2 large threaded bolts at the bottom
nuts and lockwashers go thru the backing plate
the 2 bottom bolts are the shoe anchor pivot bolts; they do not adjust
for CJ3B, CJ5 CJ6 the first pic below
the rivets merely hold the lower shoe anchor plate to the backing plate

 

I stand corrected.
the bushing fits over the bolt and acts as the eccentric for the adjustment when the bolt is turned.
Thanks Steve
