You can probably get away with hex head bolts to replace these. I've seen some this way and there don't appear to be any clearance problems with the wheels. Just double check when you put the wheel o®ŒÙ½ e sure it clears. Also, if you have the right socket and breaker bar, you can loosen the big axle nut and take of the hub with the drum. This might seem a bit radical, but don't sweat it, as much of the vintage VW world is faced with this due to the integral drum/hub on most other models. If you can get the drum off this way, take it to a shop where they can put some heat on it or weld a nut on the end of the hex bolt to get it off. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Nathan Jacobsen '62 NB '69 SB M/T >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > So, I get myself all set up to put a new emergency brake cable in and the > damn retaining allen screws for my drums are frozen.
