    I have some stubborn brake drums that don't want to come off. I've hammered and torched but one slight movement. Anyone have another trick?

    Decided to put Wd40 Rust Release in the hole all the way around to see if that would break some of the rust. My guess is the lip of the drum on the inner part is stuck behind the shoes. I tried adjusting the auto adjuster but the teeth are going the wrong way and my screwdriver is slipping.

    The WD40 helped loosen the adjusted. Adjusted them all the way in. Heated again. No progress. Any suggestions on this?

    Decided that I would try to remove the wheel bearing nut. Although I've never seen this before, removing this was the key. Once that was removed it came off easily.
