I'm in need of the collective wisdom of the list.  I recently acquire a '59
bugeye that has sat in the elements for the last 30+ years and I can't get any
of the brake drums off!  None of the wheels would turn when I picked it up and
was winched onto my trailer with all four wheels locked up.  I want to salvage
the rear axle parts but first I have to get the drums off.  I've used the BFH
and managed to move one drum about 1/2" after hours off pounding and soaking.
I'm open to any suggestions.

TIA,
