'93 Voyager rear hubs, pressed into drums?
Quick question. Are the rear drums and hubs pressed together, or are they
slip-fit pieces like the front rotors on the front hubs? I ask because the new drums didn't come with the hubs and I don't have tools to press them apart and back together in the garage. |

You'll need to knock all ten studs out, switch the hubs to the new drums and then press in ten NEW studs. The studs may also need to be swaged, this will be more apparent once the studs are back in place if there is a significant amount of the stud shoulder sticking past the drum. Sounds like you'll be better off returning the aftermarket drums and going OEM. |

Considering how much OEM parts would cost I think I'll try to find a pair of decent hubs/drums at the yard, press the drums off at work, and use the aftermarket drums. That'd be more fun than taking the easy way out too. lol |

But I don't understand why you're procuring the second set of hubs from the boneyard. |

Well if I find a second set of hubs I can prepare the assemblies ahead of time and install them immediately after removing the old ones, rather than leaving the van sitting in the driveway on jackstands while I dart into work to **** around with the old drums. Of course I have Friday off so I may have time to do exactly that. |
