Re: IML: 1961 chrysler imperial brake drum



I'm sorry Mark.  61 impcoupe wrote about "getting a big hammer, heating the drum with a torch and hitting it with a BFH untile the vein in your forehead sticks out!!! you may have to replace it but it will come off!" .....  I was just speculating whether it was the vein or 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

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!
