Deuce Brake Drum

[DHennon]

In the process of wheel bearing repack, seal replacement, and wheel cylinder replacement on all wheels. I have all the TMs at hand. Does anyone know how much a front and rear brake drum on a deuce weigh?

They are all the same. The hub assembly weighs near 100 pounds and can be a finger pincher when you put it back together.

Make sure you have the 8 sided 3" socket for loosening and tightening the bearings.

Heavy enough to drop a nut if you lift it the wrong way....

The brake drums should be the same front or rear. I'd say they are about 20-25lbs.

 

[Chevyman_15237]

I searched on here and it said 41 lbs.... I thought it was more than that....

 

[mikes47jeep]

just shows how out of shape you are, by how much you guess they weigh

 

[gimpyrobb]

You guys talking about the DRUM alone or the hub assembly?

Hub assembly

 

[rlwm211]

I know from experience that the HUB DRUM assembly weighs in the neighborhood of 100 pounds

I thought he was asking for just the drum, sorry.

The front hub and drum might be about 41 pounds. But my back tells me the rear is closer to 100.

I think the rear hub/drum assembly is about 80 lbs more or less. I can get them off and on by myself and I'm not a big guy. I did use a hand cart to move them around though.

.......the rear hub/drum assembly is about 80 lbs more or less.......

That's correct. 79 lbs to be exact.

I would agree the hub/drum assembly is at least 100 pounds and as far as the 8 sided socket for the hub bearing nut be careful on my first deuce they were 6 sided!

An oriental friend of mine said they weren't heavy at all. His name is Wone Hung Loww.
