it is not the down weight of the van that is critical but the ball weight capacity for the vehicle
the down weight can be lessened by the use of load levelers or sway bars
most ball weights are 150 kgs to 350 kgs depending on the vehicle being used
before you buy the car ask the salesman or read it in the owners manual for the car
your jeep grand cherokee has a max. towing capacity of 3500 kgs with a tow ball load limit of 350 kgs
the jeep GC diesel tow group tow group includes a trailer sway control ( stabilizer bars or sway bars ) to detect and control excessive trailer sway
1700 kgs with a mass of 170 kgs on the tow ball
the 3.5 L petrol is 1750 kgs
to get the required weight on the tow ball you have to use sway bars or stabilizer bars
carpoint.com.au suggests a tow limit of 1700 kgs with a max ball weight of 170 kg
if it is a 2.2 L diesel it is less than a 3.2 L petrol which is 2000 kgs
in your configuration you will need anti-sway bars or load levelers to get the ball weight down to the 170 kgs
then if you load the van for touring it will be well over the specs for the vehicle
the towing capacity should be on the plate inside a front door pillar along with tyre sizes and pressures
depends on the engine capacity but 2.2ltr is 750 kgs un-braked (6x4 box trailer fully loaded) and 1000 kgs braked (10ft caravan)
remember that there is a regulation that you cannot tow more gross mass that what the vehicle weighs unless it is a brake controlled system ( electric brakes working of the foot brake)
weigh a sample of your average bluestones and divide that into 1000kgs (1ton) and by spreading the stones all over the tray that will be the total number that you can carry. So if you average weight is 10 lbs (5 kgs) then you could fit 200 stones on the tray. If you cannot weigh the stones because of size then load the tray until the distance between the axle bump stop and axle has decreased by half . This will be within the load limit . Any more and you can be considered overloaded.
The maximum machining dimension is cast into the surface of the drum. On disc brakes it is cast into the rotor. Using that information you can determine the correct shoes/pads for you vehicle.
To remove the drums you simply have to remove the wheel. If the drums have never been off before remove and discard the sheet metal nuts that are over the wheel studs. They are only there to hold the drums from falling off during assembly. After that you can pry on both sides with prybars or large screwdrivers against the drum backing plate to work the drum off. I might take some effort if the shoes have worn a groove into the drums.
