Rear Brake Drum Holder
from Steve Wincze

Bud,
        There has been some discussion about holding the rear durms while removing the axle nut. I couldn't have someone hold the brake peddle down as I had already removed the front drums. This is the method that  I used.  I used a jack handle held in place by two lug nuts to hold the drum as I applied the pressure required to remove the nut.
