Default Re: 16" Wide 5 drum replacement

Doubt that any new drums can be found as Ford only provided complete assemblies.

Apparently there was some aftermarket drums made as we have run across them a couple times; pretty scarce tho.

Best bet would be to find another usable hub/drum assembly.

If not, look for a matching drum on a different assembly and salvage the good drum.

A two part hub/drum assembly can be separated.

The studs can not be knocked out; they are swedged. The swedge need to be cut out before removing the studs.

Next problem may be locating correct studs, followed by finding someone that can swedge the assembly.

We have done that with two piece car hub/drum assemblies.
