HELP!!! Rear drum removal
I`m trying to replace my broken wheel stud but I can`t get the drum off. I backed off the shoe adjusting wheel fully and I can`t get my bolts to grab into drum due to corrosion of threads (threads broke off on bolt). Anyone have another way of getting the drum off???

2nd Gen's have two threaded holes where you can thread in a bolt and keep working your way back and forth to pull the drum off. That's the only way I've been able to get mine off the last couple times.

I had one that was stubborn. After soaking it with PB Blaster, I tried to break it loose with a rubber mallet, with no luck. After upgrading to a claw hammer, it came off quite easily.

This is probably unlikely, but, hopefully your brake shoes haven't welded themselves to the brake drum...
I had this happen on my first gen. It was so fun. I had to take a dremel (my only cutting tool) and sit for about 3 hours and cut it off.
I then proceeded to run towards the largest cliff I could find. Luckily my friend was there and grabbed me before leaping to my death.
Good luck!

Well, I would cut about an inch, take a big screw driver and pry it off al ittle bit.. Cut more, pry it, cut more, then SLAM with a hammer. It was horrible. I was so drunk by the time I was done.
Like I said, there was a cliff close by and I woulda jumped.
