I'm trying to get my brakes together on my bug and this happend:

It seems like the drum will not go all the way onto the splines, both sides ended up the same. I can turn the drums freely. I've measured the lengeth of the splines and when compared to a spare set the are about 1 cm shorter. Are there diffrent drums for some IRS stub axles? Maybe I have the wrong rear bearing keepers? could the backing plates be diffrent? thanks for the help, Jeff
-
the rear bearing keepers I'm using are off a 68 auto stick, could that be the problem?
-
get the snub machined down...
-
is your drum up tight against your backing plate? is your backing plate mounted behind your bearing cap ? do you have two spacers on each side? [should be one] is the stub pushed all the way in from the back? if not tightin the nut to pull it through. slide the drum off and get post a pic of whats going on behind

Your axle stud has to go way in, that flange should practicly line up with the edge of the bump on the trailing arm. Bottom it out to the bearing.

I just went out... first I took everything apart, put the bearing cap and drum on with the same result. Next I removed the CV joint, and tried to tighten the axle nut, it made no diffrence at all. I even tried to tap the CV flange with a hammer and it wouldn't budge. How can I remove the stud? I can't get it to budge in either direction. Do I need a bigger hammer, I didn't heit it that hard, can I damage anything?

take your drum off remove the cv axles and put the castle nut on backwards and wack it with a big f@#* hammer [it will pop out] then check if theres an extra set of spacer on the back of the stub . are those Type 3 automatic axles? if so they are shorter then standard trans one about a inch so the cv axles may be holding your stubs back
-
Well it turned out that there was an extra spacer on the stub axle. I removed it and cleand all the paint off the first spacer, greesed everything and it all went back together easaly. Thanks for the Help You_Rock_Emoticon

auto stick axles are exactly the same as those used on a 4 speed. You are thinking about Type 3 automatic axles. They are not the same as a stick's axles.
