If yours is like mine, it has indents for them but no actual holes there. Awesome, eh?

 

Exactly what it appears to be.

Glad I am not just dense. Anyone care to offer a remedy? Hammer and big screw driver did not help one bit

 

Drill a hole.

Take both rear wheels off and replace only one lug nut on each hub. Then start the truck up and act like your driving it. Never done it myself, though.

 

I tried that one time per aim's instructions. Only trouble for me was... the brakes didn't work that well (main reason for taking the drums off to begin with) and when i hit the brakes to stop them, I thought they had stopped but they didn't when I threw her in park. Trans made some interesting noises... ill leave it at that.

 

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr kerchunk?

I accidentally threw a 1981 Buick Skylark in park at 30 mph. Interesting noises indeed. It was fine, though, amazingly enough.

 

Speedometer?

 

Ya the drive it idea is out. No rear brakes. This started with a rusted out brake line I replaced then needed to bleed em and broke the right rear bleeder valve. So now I want to get to the wheel cylinders for replacement and guess the shoes are on the list also If I could get there.

 

Might be time for a BFH and a chisel and crowbar if you're replacing it all anyway.

 

Not wanting to replace quite that much as in the backing plate and drums.
