They're likely 'swedged' on. Meaning the wheel studs are stamped on the front side, flaring the stud out at the base which holds the drum onto the hub. Trying to beat the hub or studs out will ruin the drum by bending/warping it. You'll have to either cut or drill the heads off the the studs from the back and push them through the front.

I wanted to remove the drums from the hubs and just put the hubs on with wheels so I could move the car-64 Dodge. How the heck do you get the drums off the fron hubs??? I soaked everything with PB blaster and tried dropping the drum on concrete hoping that the hub would fall in , but no such luck. Any tricks to get them apart?.................MO ---- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
