Disassemble Ford 9?

I've tried everything I can think of including backing off the self adjuster to the point it fell out of place, no brake fluid and Kroil everything and I still can't pull off the drums. What am I missing???

Whack the front (side facing you) with a big hammer if that doesn’t work see step two.

Are the drums lose on the axle flanges, probably not as rust builds up between the axle lip/shoulder and the drum. Heat the drum with and oxy/acet torch (cutting tip, just for more heat) in a figure 8 around each and every stud on the drum. That will “swell” the drum and it will “pop” off the axle snout.

Maybe!

The Drums rotate just fine, so what your saying is the drum has frozen to the studs and maybe the axle lip or both. Well I try some heat. Thanks.

Whack the **** out of it! Then go to the junk yard because you broke the drum.

Didn't have to whack it. It popped off with some heat. Thanks.
