The rear axles are held in by retaining plates - those 4 bolts behind the drum. You may need a slide-hammer to pull the axle (friction from the bearing and seal... no C-clips on the rear). If you haven't pulled the drum before, use the 2 Phillips-head screws in the drum to "walk-off" the drum (done by moving the screws into the 2 empty holes in the drum and turning one screw a little, then the other, and so forth until the drum slides over the brake pads). Be sure to transfer those screws to the new drum. They are quite handy. Oh yeah - if the replacement axle doesn't have the retaining plate, you will have to transfer it from the old axle. And that means you will have to remove and replace the bearing, retaining collar and seal (no harm in going with fresh parts, aside from the extra cost). But I suspect that if the seal and bearing is on the new axle, the retaining plate is too... hopefully. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
