<VV> Drum Removal

[Seth Emerson]

I think he is suggesting that if the intent is to lube the wheel bearings, that is a way to remove the inner seal, without a puller and without tearing it, so it can be reused. If you are just pulling off the riveted-on drum for brake work, you wouldn't need to. -Seth.

Why would you want to remove the inner bearing & seal?
