1995 Voyager Rear Drum brakes 14"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to have brakes done on the rear of our van. The shop said that the rear drums are a one piece unit with the hub assembly. It is a dealer only part and that I would need to get it fromt he dealer. Looking at the assembly, it appeared like a one piece but think that it is just pressed on from years of service. I can get the drums from the parts dealer but no the hubs. Is this a one piece or do I just need to get some heat on it with a press to get them apart?
Thanks,

OE drums are pressed on over the studs. In my experience, most quality aftermarket drums will have slightly enlarged stud holes to eliminate the need for pressing them back on. In other words, after replacement, your drums are now slide on over the hub vs. a pressed together assembly.
