need help
I'm trying to do a rear brake job on a 1ton drw and I cant get the brake drums off. Are there any special tricks or tips to do this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

BBwolfe is right, After you get the shoes un-adjusted get a BFH and smack the drum between the wheel studs all the way around, or use an air hammer. This will break the rust. Use lots of penetrating oil around the center hub and wheel studs and continue hitting, when your arm gets real tired hit it some more. They are a PITA to remove....you already knew that,
