Ordered new drums from NAPA for my W250,Spicer 70, 6200#, original drum Cast #97468G. Ordered NAPA #UBP6401593 described as "12 x 2 1/2" Single Rear Wheel 6200 lb. Rear Axel". These drums are flush [similiar to a car or 1/2 ton] where the axel hub and drum mate, as opposed to the original that has a 2" setback. I know this is all a bit confusing, but I hope someone knows exactly what I am talking about and can tell me what to order from NAPA- if they even carry the drums.
This brings me to the next question. I have read posts where members talk about removing their rear drums without pulling the axels. There is no way I can do this on my truck- 1992 3/4 ton. The axel hub that holds the bearings sits outside the brake drum and thus must be pulled with the drum attached.
This forum has been great . Would be interesting to find a way to compile a list of exact part numbers for replacement parts. Maybe a separate forum where we could record numbers and prices for parts after we know they fit.
