my rear tire flew off when i was driving last night on the driver side and all the bolts that the lug nuts go on are missing how hard are they to replace or if i buy a new drum break are those bolts on the drum?

The bolts you are referring to are called studs, and they can be replaced. But, better check for drum damage anyway, losing a wheel and all

Its a backyard, have a buddy over, have a couple beers, complain about the old lady job

If you find the drum is a bit difficult to remove, use a screwdriver on the shoe adjustment wheel. It's on the back side of the brake assembly, there is a slot you can use the screwdriver to spin it. It looks like a gear, has teeth that the screwdriver will fit in.

I know this because I too have had a rear wheel come off on my 85 Ram :hah:
