My question is: Why hasn't the rear been chained to the farmer's tractor bucket? Just lift it and push it onto the trailer rather than fiddle-f*** around with it.

Still have to get it off the trailer.... Might as well get it done beforehand..
Just pull the axles haha
Yep, that won’t work on this truck. Med duty or a fsuper it would

I'd much rather do it on the trailer in the shop, than in the dirt outside in a field.
To be fair, we're already measuring windchills.

Where is Danielle to tell us how it turned out?????
That is true, working in the dirt and chill sucks, I was just thinking for me it would be better on the solid ground not the wobbly skinny trailer.. I've fallen off enough of them...
@Danielle is probably still in the bathroom after soaking the drums with Monster and downing the PB Blaster lol
Lol still funny

Pull the axles out and get it to a garage/out of the field. likely the drum it rusted to the hub or the parking brake is engaged..

Pulling the axle shafts isn't going to do anything.
I would surely think she figured something out by now.

Danielle is pretty sharp. She’s either figured it out or set it on fire by now.
For you guys saying to pull the axles, that only disconnects the hub from the center section. Like unlocking the hub on the front. The braking is between the drum and the backing plate/housing.

It's a shame Ford didn't think to put threaded holes in these drums like several other manufacturers did to just thread a few bolts in and essentially "press" the drum off of whatever was holding it tight. If all else fails a slightly loose wheel and a several inch drop off a jack will usually unseat a drum stuck on a hub bore.
