I need to remove the rear hubs on my M65 grader. What is the best way to do that? The DD should be the same. I want to get my brakes working again.

I don't know about a M65, however our club's D grader has the brake mounted on the front of the transmission, not at the wheels. There is not a brake on the drive wheel spindles. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

If you have threaded holes on each side of the retaining nut you can make a heavy screw puller to suit. Tighten as much as you can - this likely won't pop the drum. Then give the end of the screw a flog or two with a EFBH - sledge of at least 14 pounds and better 28 if you can find one.

Yes, that's the park brake on a M65. This one has drum brakes on both axles. |

Hello Ian, Now I know why I saw one where the hub had been heated with a torch at one time. I think I'll maybe round up a hydraulic pancake cylinder and make a puller bar. I ran a tap in those threaded holes today. I guess I'll have to back off on the brake adjuster first, which looks like a giant pain to try to get at. Got to get that 2 1/4" nut off before that.

I had to tighten the puller nuts down to 600 lb/ft and then heat the hub a little with the torch on two of them and they popped loose with a loud boom. The other two weren't that tight. I found a new master cylinder at NAPA after finding the Bendix number on the old one for $130. I found the Bendix (now Raytheon) wheel cylinders from Carquest for $32 apiece. I built all new brake lines out of Cu/Ni brake lines from Carquest for about $50 total (7 pieces of 5' length). That was a learning experience but found out you can make templates out of baling wire for each line. I still screwed up several pieces, but I was a master at the end. I had to get new flexible brake lines made at Tubes N Hoses in Waco, TX who had the obsolete fittings in stock and made them while I waited for about 30 minutes. I love Mom and Pop shops. They only cost $35 apiece...I would have paid a lot more than that! I got my brake pads rebuilt at Brake and Clutch Supply in Lorena, TX for $40 each. He also did a fantastic job. Got to keep those Mom and Pop shops in business. Being able to stop when I want...Priceless!

For my old cars and trucks, I've always had better luck getting parts from Carquest. I was trying to get a throwout bearing for a CA from NAPA, and was told at one in that it would be back ordered, as none of the wharehouses had one. then the NAPA store closest to me said it wasn't even available, even after I told them what the Frederick store said. Stopped by the Carquest store and they had one on the shelf and 6 more at the Winchester wharehouse. Carqust has always had the brake parts in the wharehouse, for the 49/50 Dodge trucks I have. As you say NAPAs prices always seem higher. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |
