LOL ... I looked at the rear drums to try and adjust them and for whatever reason there were about 4 or 5 rubber plugs back there. That's why I was asking about the the whole backing up thing. I didn't want to start removing plugs and possibly open upPandora's box.

Ok, If it doesn't rain tonight, I'll look for it.
It definately pulls out from the outside?
I was afraid that it went in from the inside and if I pulled it through I'd never get it back in ( without having to removethe rear wheels and drums
)

Well ... thinking about what you had suggested about an exhaust brake, I checked with my Garmin to see exactly what kinda driving I am doing Check this out ...
I drove 13,531 miles since getting it
Overall average miles - 28.0
Moving average speed - 34.2 mph
Max Speed - 106 mph
Stopped time - 86:41
Aren't exhaust brakes kinda set up not to work until above 35mph? If so, it doesn't look like they'd help me much at all.
