well i've tried just about everything to break a wheel drum off a rear axle
with no luck.
i've put a small, two stud wheel puller on as tight as i can get it without
deforming the axle
threads, sprayed a rust buster on the shaft - although it is not rusty - been
hitting it with a
ball peen hammer - and still stuck fast.
since the drum has come apart into two parts - one being the drum that contact
the brake shoes -
which is now off - and the second part with the tire studs - which is still
stuck on the axle - i
could work on the brake shoes - but would still like to have the entire drum
off the axle.
has any one come up with a better method of seperating the drum from the wheel
axle.
wonder if a propane torch will develop enough heat to break the grip or should
i pull out an
acetylene torch - or bring it over to a brake shop where they have some pretty
agressive tools??
