Um, wheel puller to apply pressure then smack the drum with a hammer to break free?

Unbolt the brake line and wheel cylinder from the backing plate, and cut the heads off the brake shoe retaining pins with an angle grinder. The wheel cylinder and brake shoes will come off with the drum, at least far enough to get a pry bar inside the drum and dismantle things.

This ^ ^ ^ right here Yes, this is the best advice. I had to cut the heads off the retaining pins and use a brake drum puller to get one off once. It made a big "Wong" when it came off. Kind of scared me.

When I was a mechanic the ford drums would stick like this. It was usually the very center rusted on the knob of the axle. I would take a center punch and go around this several times to bust the rust loose. Always got them off this way. Good luck. Ed k

Tap the drum lightly with a small metallic object....dinng,,,,it ain't shoe interference. Center pilot binding. Clungk...shoe interference, proceed with Hotrod Lincoln program.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I drilled them out. Was a stubborn bitch but got it done thanks all Unbolt the brake line and wheel cylinder from the backing plate, and cut the heads off the brake shoe retaining pins with an angle grinder. The wheel cylinder and brake shoes will come off with the drum, at least far enough to get a pry bar inside the drum and dismantle things.

For the win! If indeed the shoes are binding enough to make drum removal impossible, I sure do agree with HL's advice. But, if the drum goes "ding" and it is not shoes binding, the penetrant and leverage method is a lot less hassle.

Usually beat on them with a rubber mallet in various spots.
Selective use of 5lb hammer, better a shotpeen dead blow.
Between the studs..(But dont hit 'em)
Agree about the hub shoulder as a problem spot...

He said the drum won't turn- - - - -"reading is fundamental"- - - -that means the shoes were stuck to the drum. I started doing brake work in the early 1960's. Chances are the junk truck had the parking brake set for years, and the shoes rusted to the drum. I've seen that happen several times.

Send him a PM and tell him you taught school for 74 years but only after you mined asbestos with a pick and shovel at Johns Manville for 30 years first. That impresses everyone.
