Hello fever,

All the ones that I have worked on the drum comes right off. It may be jammed up due to shoe wear or over adjustment or brake cable seizure. Let us know how you make out.

I dont know..... I beat the hell outta that thing I even hit all the studs out from what I can see the drum is welded to the axle but it cant be. You know on a normal drum the axle pokes threw the center of the drum... well this is solid like how it should look but it looks like the axle was welded to the drum.... I adjusted the brakes off all the way and from what I can see the wheel studs are home in the drum not the axle... I really hope some bone head didnt weld the drum the the axle.... it looks like a factory weld unless the rust is covering a seam but still why would the wheel studs be in the drum????

I had a real tough time getting mine off my 9 inch, what I ended up doing was heating the center seam up really well and prying the backside with a flat head then hitting the drum with a hammer and doing this repeatedly. The scary thing was I had the drum off about 2 weeks previous. Good Luck
