Hello UTV,
Like a lot of others, I acquired an older Mule (KAF300) and have been slowly getting it back to good running condition. I finally have it running smoothly, but the last issue I have is the brakes. I am replacing all major parts of the brakes, but my problem is the rear brakes. There are NO axel nuts to get the drums off. Both rear wheels have been welded where the axel nuts should be, therefore I cannot get the drums off to replace the shoes, springs and cylinders. Is this normal? If not, why would someone weld the axels at the drums? Will I have to pull the axels from the differential to get the drums off? I have to replace the driver's side brake cylinder as it shoots brake fluid when depressing the brake pedal. Any help is greatly appreciated.
