This cap will be in the center of the hub and can be removed by simply prying away from the hub. This will expose the retaining nut. There will be a pin in front of the retaining nut that prevents the nut from loosening (referred to as a cotter pin). Remove it by straightening the bent end of the pin and prying it out of its hole with pliers or a screwdriver. Using a wrench or ratchet, turn the nut counter-clockwise (to the left) to loosen it. If the nut is stuck lubricate it with WD-40 or similar lubricant. Some drums have small bolts holding them to the hub. If this is the case you will need to remove those bolts. Pull the drum straight off of the hub. You may have to wiggle a little to get it started. If the drum appears stuck and will not pull off, you should:  Check to make sure all bolts holding the drum to the hub are removed. Check to see if the drum is getting caught on the brake shoes. This step is only necessary if your drum is getting caught on the brake shoes. You will need to look on the back side of the backing plate (the steel plate on which the brake components are mounted) for a small rubber plug. Removing this plug will provide access to the brake shoe adjuster. Use a flat head screwdriver or a brake adjuster bar to retract the brake shoes.  The adjuster is designed to self-adjust the shoes into a tightened position, so loosening them may be tricky. If the drum gets harder to turn as you adjust, you are going in the wrong direction. Once the drum is removed you can continue.

Q: Employee salaries make up a large fraction of a company’s costs. You should request information from the target about the following:  List of key employees. Total compensation paid to employees. Explanation of employee benefits. Benefits make up a large percentage of total compensation. Copies of employment contracts, if any. Check if the contract provides for severance packages if you lay off any employees. Pay history. Check to see how much the company has generally given in raises each year. The current employees will probably expect a comparable amount once you buy the target. You should calculate the company’s debt-to-equity ratio. This is the amount of debt divided by the amount of shareholder equity. If the company has a high debt load, you might not want to acquire it.  A healthy debt-to-equity ratio will depend on the industry, so research what is typical. For example, technology companies with a lot of research and development have ratios of 2 or lower. However, in the financial industry, ratios can be 10 or higher.  Also check the interest rates on the company’s loans. The company might have a moderate debt load but at a high interest rate. If you buy the company, you can refinance the debt for a lower rate and save money. This type of company is an attractive target. Some debt agreements contain a clause that accelerates debt repayment when a business is sold. Check all debt agreements for these clauses. Accounts payable are the amount the target company owes other businesses for buying goods or services on credit. For example, a company might owe its suppliers for two months of supplies. Check that the target pays its accounts payable in a timely fashion. If not, try to identify why. Is it experiencing a cash flow problem? A target company might have signed contracts for materials, supplies, or commercial space. Make sure you get a copy of each and fully understand the terms of the company’s obligations. Also consider whether you can negotiate a better deal with the third party. If so, then the target company might be an attractive option. It’s normal for large companies to be sued. However, your target shouldn’t have more lawsuits than is typical for a company of its size in its particular industry.  The company should disclose its pending or anticipated lawsuits. Also ask for information about any lawsuit within the past five years. If the suits settled, then ask to see copies of the settlement agreements.  You can find information about lawsuits by searching online. Also check with your state’s Attorney General’s office. Environmental costs can be much larger than you anticipated. Accordingly, you’ll want to perform an environmental review of the target business. Consider the following:  The company’s environmental permits and licenses. Any correspondence with regulatory environmental agencies. The hazardous substances the company uses in its daily operations, e.g., petroleum or asbestos. Environmental lawsuits or investigations. You’ll want to confirm that the target company is paying its taxes. Make sure to double check the calculations to confirm the company has paid the correct amount over the past few years.  Also look for suspicious business deductions. A business deduction should be ordinary and necessary for a business of its type.  Business deductions shouldn’t be too large for the business, either. For example, a mom-and-pop business shouldn’t be deducting jet travel expenses for meeting with suppliers one state away.
A: Request information on employees. Analyze the target company’s debt. Analyze the target’s accounts payable. Collect information on contractual obligations. Investigate whether the company is being sued. Identify any potential environmental issues. Review the company’s taxes.

Article: Uterine massage is typically performed immediately after birth to help with placenta delivery and to lessen the likelihood of hemorrhages. Uterine massages aren't necessary for everyone, though. Talk to your obstetrician, doula, or other birthing professional about when and why they would recommend a uterine massage.  Massage will typically be recommended if you had a long or complicated active labor, or if you lose more blood than anticipated during and immediately after labor. Massages may also occur every fifteen minutes or so for the first two to three hours after birth to help the uterus contract down. Work with your birthing professional well in advance of your due date to create a medication plan to go along with your birthing plan. This way you will know well in advance if you anticipate being put on any medications that make uterine massage ineffective. Uterine massage is not recommended after childbirth if you received prophylactic oxytocin.  There is little evidence to suggest sustained uterine massage would be harmful for those who received oxytocin. It simply may not be effective, and may cause some discomfort.  Be prepared to be flexible with your medication plan. If complications arise during your delivery that necessitate extra treatment, it may be necessary to change what medications you receive. A uterus massage isn't the same type of massage that you might get for your shoulders or back. It typically involves your delivery professional placing one hand up the birth canal and the other on top of your uterus on the outside of your body. They may then either compress the area for a few minutes, or use back-and-forth motions to massage the area.  Ask your birthing professional about which technique their staff practices and why. Get as much information as you feel you need to help you become comfortable with this process. Some doulas and midwives may practice other forms of uterine massage that come down through vernacular traditions. There is little scientific evidence either for or against such treatments. Discuss the process and potential pros and cons prior to giving birth.
