I once had to pull the rear drum of a volvo 122 and ran into the same stuck drum on the tapered axle issue. I eventually got disgusted, and swapped out the rear. But, for laziness more than anything else, I left the drum puller attached onto the offending drum and torqued down as tight as possible. A few months later, I fell across the axle in my shop, drum puller still attached to the stuck drum. I took my 25 lb sledge (the same one I had been banging on it with 3 months previous) and with one mighty "WHACK!" the drum popped right off! Apparently tapered axle drums are subjust to the same laws of nature that create diamonds: Pressure, and Time. --Mike Pittinaro 'To Engineer' was never meant to signify poking around with a mouse on a Nintendo-on-steroids computer system.
