Re: HELP!!! Drum just came off!
I'm not sure what your calling a "popping" noise but the shoes can make a
noise where they contact the backing plate. The cure for that is to clean and
lube slightly the backing plate where the shoes hit. The drum that pulled off
without any resistance needs the shoes tightened, there should be some drag. As
others have stated, there could/should be litttle star like spring clips over
one or two of the lug bolts holding the drums on. But that's no big deal. Now
about play, what are you talking about? I thought you were talking about in and
out end play. Then you mention the driveshaft. By looking at your pictures, the
whole area looks like it could use a good rust removal, cleaning and
lubricating in the right places.

Re: HELP!!! Drum just came off!
Don't know about the noise but the drum is supposed to slide off. Sometimes
they'll be a little tight due to rust on hub. Put the drum back on (the
wheel holds it in place) and be sure to torque the lugs all the same between
85-100 lb-ft.
