front drum brake removal?

How do you remove the front drum brakes from the spindle?

The first step is to get the car up on jackstands and remove the front wheels. The factory service manual recommends popping the wheel covers off, then removing the grease cap from the brake drum and disassembling the castellated nut assembly so you can remove the drum and wheel as a unit. I prefer to remove the wheel first and then take off the drum. Remember, Chrysler front brakes have integral hubs; the drum does not come off on its own once the wheel is removed. To get the drum off, you must remove the center cap, then find the cotter pin in the grease blob underneath and pull the cotter pin out. After that, you can remove the nut holding the wheel bearings in place, and slide the brake drum off the spindle. Hope this helps!
