Bill: Its stuck on the axle hub...the brakes are free as the wind.I have done it all from acetylene to zonking the living hell out of it...short of cracking the thing which I don't want to do: its an original 11 inch drum for my car and not easily found, I would think. Anyway, let me know if you can help out...there is no question the right puller like the Ken-Tool T-500 I described should do the trick. By the way, the right side drum slipped
right off, no problem. Thanks so much, Don

I live about 30 min NE of Bel Air.Anyway, I have a friend of mine that's a Mastertech for Firestone and has a TON of tools. I'll try and get ahold of him tonight and see of he has one, but I'm not sure he does. I've always just seen him use liberal applications of a BFH (big f'ing hammer) to get most any drum off. I apologize if i haven't been paying the closest attention on this thread, but I assume besides heat, you've tried penetrating fluid, de-adjusting the brake shoes and then beating the drum side to side too? How about hitting the drum where it meets the axle face? Is it stuck there or stuck by the shoes?

I'm in suburban Maryland just outside of DC...could pick up and promptly return the tool if anyone is within 150 miles or so. I'm watching ebay aswell but just don't want to buy the darn thing if I can help it. This is mylast total restoration(We've all said that before, right??!!!!). Thanks again to all, Don, 64 Belvedere _________________________________________________________________ Get today's hot entertainment gossip http://movies.msn.com/movies/hotgossip?icid=T002MSN03A07001 ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
