Re: Rear Tire/Wheel/Hub Problem?

Post by jpp355 »

I've come to the conclusion that it is the wheel hub. I tried spinning the wheel and there was a lot of drag, the wheel wouldn't spin freely. I priced out a wheel hub from Autozone and they go for $162. Has anyone tried this? Are there any surprises to be expected in the rear drum brake? I don't think its ever been opened and I'm afraid of what I might find.

Thanks.
