What is the best way to get the rear drums off a 1970 Squareback? I have read that the nut has to come off first and I've read, in the Bentley, that it does not. I've adjusted the shoes away from the drum but I haven't taken off the nut.
i just took the rear drums off of my 70 fastBack. The large 36mm nut did not need to come off. There were 2 smaller bolts that took an allen wrench (8mm i think?). After those came out, the drums came off with relative ease, after having sat for 10+years.
