Nissan Repair: 2000 nissan quest rear drums, screw holes, jack screw


Question
I just want to know the proper procedure on how to remove the rear drums of a 2000 nissan quest. I noticed that it has a center dust cap, and the drum itself has 2 jacking holes. Inside the dust cap, there is a large nut that looks likem its holding the bearing. Do I need to remove the nut, or can I just jack screw the drum out? Thanks for your help.

Answer
Paul,

I have not done one of these so I would buy a book like a Haynes manual.  But, the two screw holes are for getting the drum to come loose from the hub.  Now, you will probably have to unadjust the automatic brake adjuster screws if the shoes have dug into the drum.
