I've got dexter axles with drumn brakes on my PJ dump trailer. I haven't opened the brakes up before and have some free time to do so. I snapped off a wheel stud with my impact gun and was going to replace it. I pulled the wheel off and found the drum brakes. So I've never worked on drum brakes before. I got some literature form dexters site and it looks like all I need to do is remove the spindle nut from the bearing and the whole drum assemble should come off. Now am I over simplifing this or what? I fee it's time to check all the brakes since it's an 04 an never had anything done to the running gear. So for you do it yourselfers let me know what I'm in for. I'm in the rust belt so I expect a fair bit of it.
