Question for the mechanically inclined. Wheel in flames. [View All]

[Feanorcurufinwe]

Last night I was driving home on the interstate when I realized I was smoking badly. (1986 F-150 truck) When I stopped, I discovered my left rear wheel was the culprit, and there were flames coming out of the wheel on the inside. I doused the flames with a fire extinguisher. I had a hitchhiker with me who was a mechanic. He said it was either the bearing, or the brake rubbing. Brake seemed likeliest. We were 6 miles from the exit near my house. Drove to there. It was hot but not in flames. I decided to drive it home instead of to the mechanic in that little town, who is just not trustworthy. The hitchhiker advised me if it is the brake, I should be able to take the wheel off and disconnect the brake and at least be able to drive it to a more reputable mechanic.

Well now that I've got the wheel off, I thought I would be able to just pry the drum off as well but apparently not, is there a fastener I am missing? Any other advice for me?
