Can you give more details about why the puller doesn't fit your drum? I looked it up on the net and it looks like a quality unit that should fit. How about some pictures? Charlie Stephens

The method you remember requires you removing the axle nut and replacing it with a "knocker" which is like a long double nut that you strike with a sledge. Leave several threads showing on the axle. The theory is that with the wheel and drum on the pavement, it will stay firm(er) in place on the ground when you strike the knocker which will move the axle away from the drum/wheel. I've had better results with a puller that clamps on to the ridge of the drum.

I would back off the adjuster cams by turning the hex-nuts which accomplish that on the backing plate. Then I would try setting the parking brake to force the shoes to move, --only one shoe. Then step on the hydraulic brake to move both shoes. Pulling the drum involves, as you have expressed, a special tool, or maybe not so special, a claw with a slide hammer. The shoes are going to want to cock in the drum and wedge but maybe pulling then pushing a few times will let the rust and brake dust to release and off it comes!

Hi guys. I know this has been discussed many times in the past, but after searching I can't find any past discussions. I'm trying to break loose my rear drums on my '36 with juice brakes. I bought the Vintage Precision ABV-156 reproduction 7 years ago and never used it until now and now I find it doesn't fit my drum. I saw someone posted years ago about removing stuck drums but it was unclear what his method was. As best I can recall, the member said to lower the car such that the problem wheel and drum is on the ground and to then jack up the opposite side wheel and the problem drum would come loose? I think I'm missing something here? Can anyone provide more details?? Thanks.
