Any suggestions on removing the rear wheel drums?
I’m using a good wheel puller, plenty of PB Blaster and moderate hammering. No progress at all. What am I missing?
i haven’t tried heat yet…
A trick I have had success with is to loosen the nuts off about 3/4 - 1 turn then drive the car in a tight figure 8 motion at low speed, this applies pressure in slightly different angles than normal. You may not notice the exact moment of release so every few turns stop and shake the top of the wheel, if the wheel wobbles it has released.

Mine was really stuck and I tried all the tricks but in the end a good puller and a little heat finally let it break free. When it finally comes off there is a lot of force so keep the axle nut on loose so the drum does not hurt you,
@anthony-williamson Thanks Tony. My car is almost completely disassembled so I can’t use your suggestions. I appreciate your response.
@david-dunton Thanks David. I’ll keep working on it.
Best regards…Rick
