I need to replace my '03 gls rear brake shoes very soon. The problem I have is to replace the drums also because it exceeded 8" ID service limit. The drum has studs embedded and I can't find such replacement drums. I searched online and all I could find was ones without studs. Where can I buy Elantra drums?
Believe it or not, I have never changed the rear brake shoes since I purchased my car in 2003. The mileage is now over 314, 000 miles.

The studs are part of the hub, not the drum. The ones you found earlier will work fine.

Just keep your old studs from your elantra, cuz my friend got studs from autozone oh boy his wheel came off a couple of times & messed up his fender a couple times, he took sharped turns made it to come off lol

Most cars have studs on the hub, but mine has studs on the drum. They are integrated into the drum. So if I remove the drum, the studs come off together. The brake shoes are attached to the back plate and no studs on it.

danielelee, what do you think keeps the drum and wheel on the car if the studs are attached to the drum?

Do you have a picture of your drum off the car?

 

[danielelee]

Yes, I already watched the video long time ago. His rear drum brake is different from mine. The studs are attached to the hub on the back plate. Mines are on the drum!
I have a Chilton's auto repair manual for '90s Hyundai's. Elantra, Excell, Tiburon have same types of drums like mine. Sonata has studs on the hub. I don't have a pic of mine right now, but I will post a diagram from the web.

Im sure you can remove the studs of your drum

Why do you want me to remove the studs? Then how can I mount the wheel? Studs are not removable. They are welded on the drum from the factory.

Idk man thats weird tho so how does it hold on

I dont understand this. Did you remove the hub nut? If so that is your problem. Leave the hub nut on and back off the shoes and pull the drum off. Here is a picture of an 04 with a separate hub. Either you have some odd car or you are not understanding how the drum is bolted to the knuckle. Take a picture for us to see and we can let you know.

As you can see in the picture of the linked web page, the hub and studs are attached to the inside of the drum. They look like welded together.

 

[MrElantra104]

Danielee I dont think its safe to drive lik that

i cant see the photo since im at work but they are separate according to the hyundai parts breakdown. the photo above is not correct or is missing the breakdown information.

here is your parts breakdown:

Oh, I see. There are bolts #52752, 51752 behind the hub inside the drum and wheel bearing #52714. I may try to remove the bolts and the hub, but I am not sure about the wheel bearing.
Oh, no. The wheel bearing is attached to the hub, right?

Other cars have a hub and studs attached to the back plate together with brake shoes, but this car has hubs and studs attached to the inside the drum.

Sorry, #52752 is the stud. The hub may have been welded to the drum? When I remove the drum, the hub and studs come off together.

 

[danielelee]

Here is the

inside of the drum.

You can see the hub, studs and wheel bearings attached on the drum. Other cars have hub and studs attached on the backing plate.

 

[kevinatfms]

the wheel bearing/hub slides onto the knuckle and is secured by the large hub nut. the drum should be able to be removed from that. Im not sure why yours is different. It may be frozen to the drum itself and you need to buy a new hub/bearing assembly. also the wheel bearing/hub are one assembly together.

 

[danielelee]

I have a Chilton's repair manual for Hyundai. I am posting drum brake diagrams of Elantra and Sonata. You will see what I am talking about if you compare two.

Here's the only thing they show for your car on Hyundai Online Parts

Maybe it will help.

Have you checked with a dealer parts department? Maybe they know something the rest of us don't.
