How do I replace wheel bearings?
So I know how to do my rear bearings, but there's only one problem, my car has drum brakes on the rear. I've also bought new drum brakes and hardware. How exactly do you take the drum brakes off so you can take the axle out? Couldn't find anything online so posted on here looking for some assistance. (I drive 1994 Camaro v6) Any help would be appreciated

I ordered a bunch of stuff off rock auto including a service manual. But before that and everything else I ordered arrives I'd like to get an idea on how I can take everything apart. The bearing didn't arrive yet, neither did the brake hardware. My factory service manual isn't gonna help.

Check out youtube for videos. Just about all GM Drum brakes are the same even back to the 70's. Most lighter GM rears have the same process for changing the rear wheel bearing. You are going to need a bearing puller.
Maybe you should have waited before you ordered the bearings. If you axle has wear on it you may need offset bearings. GM went the cheap rout and they use the rear axle as the inner bearing race.
