the drum that would need replacing.
I have dealt with the rear drums on my '60 and I
know they are no fun at all. I kept tightening the puller over about three
days tapping and retightening until the damn things popped off in my
absence. I was just having fun with 61 imcoupe's phrasing. I will
say there are many who say I have a somewhat sick sense of
humor.
I do wish you best luck with your '61. They
will come off; probably when you least expect it.
Take care

The vein or the brake

myself at first now I am just without words in amazement that the drum will
not come off

hi,
It's a shorter trip to the mental hospital... just kidding .. sorry
you have so many problems . some things just take a lot of determintion,
heat, a big f-ing hammer and luck .(pardon my french).. get your
torch out and make it hot --- then hit it with a
BFH,,,over and over( on the side of the hub) until the vein in your
forehead sticks out !!! you may have to replace it but it will
come off!
Best of luck
