RE: [T3] Rear Drums
Don't hammer it much, you will warp it. An Oxy torch carefully on the DRUM
near the center around the axle will pop it right off, not sure if a propane
torch will be enough heat but its worth a try.

Subject: [T3] Rear Drums
My 72 rear drum seems to be frozen on the axle! The screws are out &
shoes are loose enough I think. I've soaked w/WD40/Liquid Wrench.
I've used hammer/punch on drum lip gently. I'm thinking of heating
the drum w/small propane torch or getting a bigger hammer?
