OT..OT...Are you sure you have done brake jobs before? On most cars, including my Lincoln Navigator, the rear brake drums are held on by a GIANT nut, like 2 1/8" size that screws them onto the axel. How else would you hold the wheel on when going around a corner? You must be a financial type....not an engineer.....8^)...this MUST be an April fools joke.

Take a hammer and beat on the drums. That will break loose the rust and allow the drums to fall off.

take a couple of torches (butane type) and heat the area of the drum where the flat surface of the drum lays against the flat surface underneath (the disc that the lugs are mounted into. Then, after getting good and hot, beat on the same area with a hammer all around that area. You should see in begin to loosen up. Water and rust gets between the two flat surfaces and binds them sometimes. Two torches of the butane type will get the area hotter than one torch obviously. (It is difficult to get enuff heat built up when trying to heat such a massive hunk of steel and/or cast iron) EDWIN K
