I'll second that on not being exactly free. I had to go rent a drum puller, I think the drum was flexed at least 1/4" when it finally went. Flew off about 4'. I was off to one side waiting for it to do that, so no damage. The drum was scrap anyway, wanted to replace it with a new one. The adjusters were frozen, too, had to dismantle the whole works and dunk them in penetrant before everything would work freely. I had a couple of missing plugs, too. One thing I did notice was that the new drum had a lot more porosity in the casting(Brazilian) than the original German drum. On the outer face, though, not inside where it really counts.
