then pull on the drum as hard as you can repeatedly until the axle comes .... poor man's slide hammer/axle puller tool.

never tried it, but i've heard it works like a charm .... good luck!
I have also used a chain on the lug studs, just with a snap pull on the chain.

I'm not having any issues, yet. I just thought since I'm right here redoing the brakes.... I'll leave it for another time. I'll just make sure the bolts will move so I don't have to take the brakes apart to get a box wrench on them, which I had to do on the side I've done so far.
